I am trying to submit LazPaint to the Debian distributions and there
are some warnings related to the binary file produced by Lazarus/FPC.

I suppose it is not that bad but does anyone know if there are
compiler switches for that?

I don't know much about debian. Quick googling shows that Lazarus, FPC
and DoubleCommander use lintian-overrides to avoid this kind of
warnings.

See for example
..lazarus/tools/install/debian_lazarus/lintian.overrides
But those are not exactly the warnings you posted.

I have been able to solve those warnings with the following compiler
options:
Code: [Select]-Cg
-k-pie
-k-znow
It was suggested to me on mentors if I recall well.
