I'd like to fix a build issue for mpeg2dec [1] on hppa. The Debian autobuilder failed on it [2]. The culprit appears to be the use of the --mode=compile option -prefer-non-pic. It looks like it incorrectly assumes it didn't have to use -fPIC on hppa then fails at link time [3].
The intent of using the -prefer-non-pic was to not take the significant performance hit that -fPIC causes on some platforms like x86. The code at least compiled on many platforms [4], I haven't actually run tests to verify the result worked on anything but powerpc and x86. Could someone more familiar with hppa take a look at this? This is using libtool 1.4.2a.
