hmm, it's easy to build a libg2c-pic.a library. So I will do this instead of building the standard library with pic. Building a shared library would introduce a incompatibility to other distros. Matthias, This might be an issue -- because a generic invocation of g77 won't know library to link

for which architectures should the patch be enabled (besides ia64?) my understanding is that this will be needed for any architectures that cannot link non-PIC code into a PIC library, so that's iirc: ia64, hppa, mips, mipsel, s390, sh, powerpc, m68k thanks, randolph -- Debian Developer
