I actually just got lazy and hacked it to not use -prefer-non-pic if the host was hppa*. walken's check is a better approach that I'll integrate into the next deb release. A libtool fix would be even better. ;) It's compiled for all archs now. This is just -compiling- though. I have no idea if PIC tricks work at runtime on all archs in all situations. But I presume that's why the flag exists in the first place. In case anyone wants to check which archs actually used -fPIC you can check the build logs: http://buildd.debian.org/build.php?pkg=mpeg2dec -dave _______________________________________________ Libtool mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/libtool
