This would affect glibc or really any shared library. IIRC, Dave had a preliminary fix early last fall around the time we split the 1.1.x branch. For some reason it never went in.

Of course maybe this is completely unrelated to the failures I'm seeing today. :-) For an example of the recent -fpic/-fPIC failures (and beyond above what normally occurs) see: http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/egcs-testresults/1999-03/msg00353.html --Kaveh -- Kaveh R.
