The output of fgrep is not at all informative. If TEXTREL is a signature of
non-PIC code then elfdump must also provide the names of the symbols that
have this problem. This will in turn provide a clue as to which object files
were not compiled with PIC. Could you please provide this information, as I
suggested in the previous email.

Please understand my statements in the appropriate context. Maxima is
compiled with ECL and while ECL runs just fine, the Maxima executable does
not. The problem might be in the compilation statements that build the
resulting code, since ECL seems to work just fine -- even if as you suggest
there are non-PIC sections.

The compiler is probably wrong. gcc here does not detect any problem and I
do not see any obvious one in dpp.c In any case this file is not related to
the relocation issues since its only responsibility is to preprocess C files
when bootstrapping ECL and it seems to be doing it just fine.
