OK, so I've checked into the main and 1.1 branches a change that, for SPARCv9 (sparc64) on FreeBSD, uses -fPIC. Regular FreeBSD appears to use -fPIC on SPARCv9 as well. If anybody else needs it, they should report it or, even better, add it and send us the changes. > At the same time Debian builds everything with -fPIC: > > http://patch-tracker.debian.org/patch/series/view/libpcap/1.1.1-2/10_shared_lib.diff ...and they make changes there that we'll never accept (not all shared libraries end with .so, for instance), so they can continue to make whatever changes they want. - This is the tcpdump-workers list.
