Hi! Sorry for digging out that old posting, but for my plugin I ran into that problem too.
I wonder why no other plugin authors shared there opinion and how they fix it. As I understand it every plugin must be changed whenever VDR introduces changes in that area and if the VDR compiling user doesn't use (and adopt) Make.config. IIRC we already had that when introducing the -fPIC option. So I think that the current system isn't a clean one. So what do you think?
