        The same thing. I don't change things unless something goes wrong. I am
getting the same basic error trying to compile libmng-1.0.9 This is
getting boring.

Think I found the silver bullet. File it under "perl sucks hard".
Found someone having a similar problem on X86_64 trying to compile
mod_perl.

http://www.nntp.perl.org/group/perl.modperl.modules.dev/2

The problem is that perl itself needs to be compiled with -fPIC. Blame
it on faulty Configurey. Here's the patch that Fedora uses.

http://cvs.fedora.redhat.com/viewcvs/devel/perl/perl-5.8.1-fpic.patch?view=markup

I don't know enough about PIC, but maybe this isn't a problem on x86
since I haven't seen it reported here before. CLFS guys? What do you
think about this? I don't know what to make of the 64 bit issues.
