When, for example, we try to allocate a surface wider than 16384 pixels, the calculation of the pitch overflows; this leads to a surface that has the w and h flags correctly set, but whose "pixels" buffer is too small. That may lead to heap corruption.

#!/bin/sh
#
# libtool assumes that the compiler can handle the -fPIC flag
# This isn't always true (for example, nasm can't handle it)
command=""
while [ $# -gt 0 ]; do
    case "$1" in
        -?PIC)
            # Ignore -fPIC and -DPIC options
            ;;
        *)
            command="$command $1"
            ;;
    esac
    shift
done
echo $command
exec $command
