[Dbmail-dev] Not building libraries correctly?

[Sean Chittenden]

Howdy.  I'm the FreeBSD port maintainer for dbmail.  To get dbmail to 
compile and install with libtool, it's necessary to specify the -fPIC 
option to gcc(1) when compiling the various object files.  When libtool 
comes along and tries its magic, it fails miserably on amd64.  -fPIC 
solves the problem, but, -fPIC incurs a performance hit.  One of 
FreeBSD's libtool guru's had this to say about it:

Any chance this can be fixed for amd64?  I'll gladly test patches.  -sc
