-fPIC problem building libgsf

["J.H.M. Dassen (Ray)" <fsmla@xinara.org>]

[Please CC - I'm not on this list]

libgsf used to build fine on HPPA, but the latest buildd attempt
(http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=libgsf&ver=1.8.2-4&arch=hppa&stamp=1067919674&file=log&as=raw)
failed. Looking at the log, I guess the root cause has to do with:
	checking for gcc option to produce PIC... -fPIC
	checking if gcc PIC flag -fPIC works... no
which used to be 'yes'.

Is this a known issue? If not, can someone provide me with the config.log
generated while trying to build libgsf?
