Agreed, both objects are PIC (default on Tru64). The main concern was that now 2 separate objects are created (one with `-DPIC' and the other without) : /bin/ksh ./libtool --mode=compile cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -c -o ltdl.lo ltdl.c mkdir .libs cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -c ltdl.c -DPIC -o .libs/ltdl.o cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -c ltdl.c -o ltdl.o >/dev/null 2>&1 -- Nicolas Joly Biological Software and Databanks.
