Well, that's a bit different problem there.  That looks like an 
actual legitimate relocation that really is overflowing, simply 
because the relevant address space isn't large enough unless you 
use -fPIC.  So -fPIC might well indeed be the solution in that 
case.

Our case is that relocations are getting emitted when they 
shouldn't be emitted _at all_.  -fPIC won't help in the case of 
kdegames (it was one of the first things I tried).
