Description:
------------
Using Centos 6.9 CentOS-6.9-x86_64-minimal.ISO
Installed using yum: gcc php-devel libxml2-devel

PHP 5.6.34 installed from php-5.6.34.tar.gz

IBM Informix Client SDK 3.70.FC9 installed from CSDK_3.70.FC9_LIN-x86_64_Fixpack.tar.gz

Test script:

cd PDO_INFORMIX-1.3.3

Successful generation of pdo_informix.so extension.

Actual result:
--------------
make fails with these errors:

/usr/bin/ld: /opt/IBM/informix/lib/cli/libifcli.a(odconnct.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str4.4' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/opt/IBM/informix/lib/cli/libifcli.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

Extracted from the Client SDK library libifcli.a, inspecting odconnct.o with this command returns nothing:

readelf --relocs odconnct.o | egrep '(GOT|PLT|JU?MP_SLOT)'

Since nothing was returned I think that suggests the object is not compiled with position independent code, just as the error message states.

Is this still an issue with latest PDO_INFORMIX (1.3.4)?

Switching to Informix Client SDK 4.x allowed a successful PDO build. I have since moved on to major revision upgrades of Centos and PHP. I reported this problem three years ago. I have no interest in whether or not Informix Client SDK 3.x can be used to create a PDO. Never worked for me, ever.

Hmm, interestingly, the linked git repo of the source code[1] had
it's latest commit in 2014; however, the latest version of the
package is from 2021.  I'm not interested in working on such …
