Attached is a patch which adds -fPIC to the shared libs compilation.

Comment 2 Hin-Tak Leung 2007-08-09 15:08:15 UTC
While I am aware of the need of the extra -fPIC occasionally in 64-bit
compilation, I don't think the place where the submitted patch modified 
is the appropriate place... the appropriate place is probably 
in the configure script.
Comment 3 Timo Gurr 2007-08-10 01:22:10 UTC
Uh, I should have looked at the configure script before. Many thanks for your 
suggestion! I attached a working configure patch, but I also discovered that I 
can pass --enable-dynamic to configure to activate -fPIC. So what is the 
preffered way to handle this?

Comment 5 Till Kamppeter 2007-09-05 14:58:05 UTC
I get it to work by adding "-fPIC" to the general CFLAGS:

CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fPIC" ./configure ...

Grabbing a Ralph's bugs.
Comment 10 Hin-Tak Leung 2010-05-15 10:21:10 UTC
Both 
    "./configure --enable-dynamic && make so" 
and 
    "ln -s base/unix-gcc.mak makefile && make so"
are documented. (I updated the documentation in r11253 for the former).

The latter has not been working for a while but a few commits leading up to r11258 makes it work again.

> Both

it works fine for me on the SVN version (21/05/2010)
on Suse Linux 11.2  X86_64

(the release 8.71 failed on "make so" even with
both --enable-dynamic as configure option and an environment variable
CFLAGS="-fPIC")
