mips64 compiler complains: linking PIC files with non-PIC files

[jestin james]

Hi,

Passing the LD Flag "--no-warn-mismatch" (-Wl,--no-warn-mismatch")
helped me to suppress the warning to go ahead with dejagnu tests.

Still yet to know:
1. How do we know whether a binary is PIC file or non-PIC file?
2. How do I know which are the non-PIC files in this case? (crt1.o was
built with -fPIC)

I am using gcc 4.2.1.

Thanks in advance for your time.
