amd64 breaks. Shared libraries must be compiled with -fPIC; see http://www.x86-64.org/lists/discuss/msg02621.html for why. LD_SHARED has the flag, but nci_test.o isn't compiled with it. Perhaps there needs to be a CC_SHARED as well? -fPIC isn't desirable where unecessary, so it shouldn't be the default for every Linux, certainly... does this belong in the cpu/ tests?
