The error message is as it says... I think there is a work around: make XCFLAGS="-fPIC" XLDFLAGS="-fPIC" so But I am surprised that it happens again - did you just do 'make so' without running ./configure ? I thought this problem was fixed some time ago...
./configure make that's exactly what i did, and yes, i know how to workaround it, just that it should work, that's why i reported the bug.
"make so" instead of "make" on last comment :D
I can confirm the problem and that adding -fPIC to the command line as in Comment #1 works for buiding the libgs.so.8.61. However, the is problem reported after that file is finished: . . .

It's not fixed. I've not yet worked out how to resolve this properly. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 689396 ***
