Bug 265220: math/PDL: needs PIC
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D265220



--- Description ---
The port fails on armv7 with a similar reason as the BROKEN reason for i386:

ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_ARM_MOVT_ABS against symbol: .=
LC1
in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC or pass '-Wl,-z,note=
xt'
to allow text relocations in the output
>>> defined in slatec/chfdv.o
>>> referenced by chfdv.f
>>>		  slatec/chfdv.o:(chfdv_)


The reason for this failure is that the code is not compiled with -fpic (or
-fPIC) and is hence not suitable for use in a shared library.  To fix this,
patch the makefile to add -fpic to the compiler options.  The port can then=
 be
unbroken on i386, too.

I can try writing a patch, but I'm pretty busy right now.  Maybe someone el=
se
can pick this up.
