Basically, yes. However, looking at http://buildd.debian.org/fetch.php?&pkg=libnids&ver=1.18-1&arch=powerpc&stamp=1073518192&file=log&as=raw this seems to be done correctly already; the problem likely stems from libnet, which seems to be only available in static form (and hence built without -fPIC). > > Or is there more to it?

Non-PIC code in shared objects causes problems ranging from build failures to random runtime failures on most architectures except i386. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | Debian (powerpc), X and DRI developer Libre software enthusiast | http://svcs.affero.net/rm.php?r=daenzer
