Yeah, but the nonpic change caused that.
Can anyone tell me which machine types (host_cpu values) FreeBSD does
support non-PIC code in shlibs for? Is it only x86, and if so exactly
what's the host_cpu setting? We need to throw a conditional into
Makefile.freebsd.
Judging from the config.guess script that the PostgreSQL distribution
uses, the host_cpu value should be "x86_64".
I think this mixing of non-relocatable and relocatable code is a problem
that exists for all amd64 machines, regardless of the operating system.
When Googling for the linker error message, I've seen it crop up for
users running NetBSD, FreeBSD and Linux. I think you'll want to add the
same conditional setting of allow_nonpic_in_shlib in
src/makefiles/Makefile.linux based on the host_cpu value.
