this error:

= note: /usr/bin/ld: /tmp/rustc.ZbjniGJ7D9Ug/librust_sodium_sys-24ee5a8b5f6825c1.rlib(libsodium_la-aead_chacha20poly1305.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `cr
ypto_aead_chacha20poly1305_encrypt_detached' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

can appear when working with neon on linux even with pie disabled if build-essential is not installed

the readme implies (imo) that build-essential is only needed for cross compiling but it can show up in other edge cases it seems

unfortunately the linker error is very cryptic, it took me a long time to figure out that -fPIC is a red herring and that i was actually missing an apt-get dependency (newer gcc or something?)

The rust_sodium crate is no longer maintained by MaidSafe, you should check whether it is actively maintained on Subspace as per the readme, or switch to a modern alternative.
