Hello,

I noticed that the MySQL packages in Debian have PIC stuff in their
alternative build arguments, see
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-mysql/mysql-5.6.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules
http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=pkg-mysql/mysql-5.5.git;a=blob;f=debian/rules

Anybody here who understands deeply the build arguments who could say
if having these PIC additions is desirable?


Also the MySQL rules file has a section like this:

# See http://blogs.innodb.com/wp/2010/04/innodb-performance-aio-linux/
67 # Also #659565
68 ifneq (,$(findstring linux-gnu,$(DEB_HOST_GNU_TYPE)))
69     USE_LINUX_NATIVE_AIO:=-DLINUX_NATIVE_AIO=ON
70 endif

Should MariaDB use this too, is it valid for XtraDB?
