"gp-relative relocation" means something needs to be compiled with -fPIC (probably kwave's libmad in this case). Remove and re-extract the source tree, export LDFLAGS="-fPIC", and try the build again. -- Kelledin "If a server crashes in a server farm and no one pings it, does it still cost four figures to fix?"
