I discovered that the gmp developers have been incorrectly building non-PIC code into their shared libraries. They have been using -fast which sets -mdynamic-no-pic without adding an explicit -fPIC. I recall some discussion on the debian mailing lists of checking for non-PIC code in linux ELF shared libs...
http://lists.debian.org/debian-gcc/2003/10/msg00115.html I wonder if something similar is possible on Darwin? If so it would be a great idea to make 'fink validate' check any packaged shared libraries for non-PIC code.
