[Pymilter] Adding -fPIE optoin when building sendmail srcrpm for RedHat 4

[Kyle Oetken]

Stuart,

 

Thanks.  I've got my milter working.  For future reference I'm using RHEL 4 x86_64.  I order to get the pymilter working I added the following line to the ./libmilter/Makefile.m4 file: 

 

define(`confOPTIMIZE', `-O2 -g -m64 -fPIC')

 

I had to remove the mtune option in order to patch sendmail and recompile the src rpm successfully.  Thanks for responding so promptly.  I appreciate your work on the pymilter module.  

 

Thanks,

 

Kyle Oetken
