That's what we're trying to detect at configure-time.  However, a
simple test of building a non-pic shlib and linking a program with it
does succeed.  Relevant lines from the trace are:

+ gcc -c /tmp/actestydirson-lib1.c -o actestydirson-lib1.o
+ gcc -c /tmp/actestydirson-lib2.c -o actestydirson-lib2.o
+ ld -shared -o /tmp/actestydirson.so actestydirson-lib1.o actestydirson-lib2.o -lc -lm
+ gcc -o /tmp/Xactestydirson /tmp/actestydirson.c /tmp/actestydirson.so
+ /tmp/Xactestydirson


This test is apparently sufficient on ia64, but for some reason it
does not fail on mipsel (and surely on mips as well).

The simple code provided by upstream does not explicitely call any
libc function, so I even added a call to printf to check, but that did
not change anything.

Anyone understand why it works, and what should be tested for instead ?


For those willing to take a closer look, the invocation is:

sh -x ./autoconf/ccpic2 --user=${USER} --tmp=/tmp --cc=gcc --cpicflags=-fPIC --cflags= --ldopt=-shared

The package is bigloo 2.5b-2, diff/dsc are still in incoming.
