nettle currently FTBFS on sparc64:

Example error from
http://buildd.debian-ports.org/status/fetch.php?pkg=nettle&arch=sparc64&ver=2.7.1-2&stamp=1402015401:

> testutils.o: In function `die':
> /«PKGBUILDDIR»/testsuite/testutils.c:41:(.text+0xf0): relocation truncated to fit: R_SPARC_GOT13 against symbol `stderr@@GLIBC_2.2' defined in .data section in /lib/sparc64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6

The internet says, that one should use -fPIC rather than -fpic and
indeed when exporting lsh_cv_sys_ccpic=-fPIC, nettle builds just fine.
