Sigh, the suggestion to "recompile with -fPIC" that some compilers make
should be ripped out of them temple of doom style.  None of you seem to
really understand what it does.  Your brains stop working and you just
follow it blindly.

Go ahead, proof me wrong, I dare you guys.  Pick one of the build errors
and explain to me what is going wrong and how adding -fPIC to the global
CFLAGS fixes it, without looking at any manpages of course.
