--- Comment #2 from Vadim Markovtsev <gmarkhor at gmail dot com> 2011-05-11 11:43:03 UTC --- I ensured that. ffmpeg does not use cmake, just ordinary GNU make; no libtool is called at all down to the point where gcc fails (checked it with "make -n" and "configure --cc='gcc -v ...'"). fPIC is passed correctly to each CC and LD call, it is always in COLLECT_GCC_OPTIONS.
