10:56 <SeanTAllen> A new "Last Week in Pony" is out => https://www.ponylang.org/blog/2017/08/last-week-in-pony---august-13-2017/

17:00 <isido> a quick question. I just compiled ponyc from the current master, on Ubuntu 17.04, *but* I used Ubuntu/Debian provided LLVM 3.9 - I didn't download the upstream binary as suggested in the README. I could compile the compiler just fine, but when I try to compile helloworld example, I get a linker error:

17:00 <isido> /usr/bin/ld.gold: error: ./helloworld.o: requires dynamic R_X86_64_32 reloc against 'pony_personality_v0' which may overflow at runtime; recompile with -fPIC

17:01 <jmiven> isido: hi! You need to compile ponyc with default_pic=yes

17:01 <isido> oh, that was quick!

17:01 <isido> thanks!
