I am unsure as to whether the linker has changed or what. This may apply to all the static libraries in /usr/lib though! I have tried with libz.a and libufs.a with the same error. >How-To-Repeat: In this instance I was trying to build the GNUstep base libraries. But trying to make a very simple shared library, linking against static libraries in /usr/lib, will show it up. >Fix: Preseumably fix buildworld so that static libraries are compiled with -fPIC ? This also applies to static libraries built from ports. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
