 But is it clfs-1 or clfs-2 ?  Neve mind, in the light of your other
responses I don't think we have anything to fix.

 -fPIC is an x86_64 requirement for mixing shared and static.  AFAIK
no other architectures need it.  Anyway, if the book says that CFLAGS
should NOT be set, that covers it.

 So, you are deviating from the book.  I'll need to remember that
and not immediately think we have something to fix.  I'm sure that
other packages will ignore config.site (e.g. bzip2 does most things
differently), so you will definitely need to keep an eye on what gets
installed where.
