Description Ludwig Nussel 2012-01-24 15:46:21 UTC

open-vm-tools triggered the rpmlint check
"non-position-independent-executable" which means there are one or
more binaries that need to be compiled as position independent
executable.

To fix the issue add -fPIE to CFLAGS and -pie to LDFLAGS of the
binaries in question.
