Hy. Recently I have completed my very own AMD64 biarch lfs system based on lfs-6.1. I have started stumbling on problems after beginning to compile gnome. As it turns out one must pass -fPIC to all libraries during make, or it won't be possible to create some shared objects.
I have a few questions about this: 1) why is this necesary? why is it that the normal build process fails? 2) is there a way to know whether a library is position independent?
Thanks, Mihai
