libGL compiled without -fPIC?

[Mark Nipper <nipsy@tamu.edu>]

	While trying to build vlc here at home, I got this:
---
gcc -Wsign-compare -Wall -pipe -o libopengl_plugin.so libopengl_plugin_a-opengl.o `top_builddir=../.. ../../vlc-config --libs plugin opengl`
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libGL.a(glapi.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/libGL.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[5]: *** [libopengl_plugin.so] Error 1


	Ack!  I'm grabbing the sources now for xlibmesa-gl to
verify, but at 768kbps, it will take a little more time.  Anyone
else seen this yet?

	I should mention I'm trying to debuild the vlc package,
not straight from source from upstream.  The maintainer left off
--enable-ncurses (bug filed already) and I successfully rebuilt
the package at work on x86.  I was just trying to build the same
here at home on x86_64.  :)
