Have you tried putting an agentic AI on the case? I’ve found that this is exactly the sort of task that Claude (and others) excel at fixing.
that response is as idiotic as top-posting

When trying to compile it, I'm getting error's saying that I need to pass -fPIC. I tried setting -fPIC in the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS. I set --enable-pic in the configure options. But I still get the error. Here's an example: /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libaribcaption.a(renderer_capi.cpp.o): warning: relocation against `_ZSt7nothrow@@GLIBCXX_3.4' in read-only section `.text' /usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libaribcaption.a(caption_capi.cpp.o): relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `_ZSt7nothrow@@GLIBCXX_3.4' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: bad value collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status make: *** [ffbuild/library.mak:136: libavcodec/libavcodec.so.62] Error 1 I also tried omitting -fPIC in the CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS (which are set to -O2 -march=native.) # nice -n19 make -j1 ...

I even see -fPIC pop-up on htop while the compile job is running. Any idea how to pass fPIC or avoid having to do so? Thanks! PS: If you need the full config log and the configure command I can attach them. They're quite long.
