Failed to build Linux steampipe-postgres-fdw binaries for Kubernetes plugin

[pskrbasu]

Currently, we are unable to build the Linux binaries for steampipe-postgres-fdw.

To get build error run (on Linux):

• make standalone plugin=kubernetes (from steampipe-postgres-fdw repo)

what was the compilation problem?

The build error was Linux only, and related to code relocation:

relocation R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 against symbol 'type:string' which may bind externally can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

We tried using the fPIC flag (and many other things)

Is it possible to skip the AARCH64 build and release for the other architectures?

[pskrbasu]

Sure @jDmacD, we will try and release the mac FDW binaries for Kubernetes in the next release.
