That explains why Ladislav said earlier he was able to build the library |
| 21 |
manually. |

In general terms (not specific to this particular package), what do you |
| 28 |
do in the Makefile to fix that? I've been trying to fix the ebuild for |
| 29 |
games-fps/quakeforge on x86_64 (bug #294388), which seems to run into |
| 30 |
the same problem trying to build a shared object without -fPIC. There |
| 31 |
might be a lot of older packages that need this out there, and I'd like |
| 32 |
to know what the basic idea is to fix them myself. |

It worked for me earlier this year on x86_64, but using GCC 4.3, and |
| 38 |
before the policy switch to libtool with '--as-needed'. I don't know if |
| 39 |
it was the compiler switch or the new libtool options that made the |
| 40 |
difference, but I'd imagine it's the latter, since GCC 4.3 and 4.4 are |
| 41 |
supposed to act about 99% the same. |
