Research direction

Reproduce the warning by building the latest bcftools source with the reported configure and make steps, then run the resulting bcftools binary on Ubuntu 18.04. Inspect the build and linker output around the reported relocation warnings; done means the binary starts without these warnings.

Description

hw-dependent

I install the latest version of bcftools from github source code.

Although both configure and make step finished without error, there are some warning message when I run the binary file.
