I am getting this error when building scipy-0.11.0.p0.

But the file $SAGE_LOCAL/bin/sage_fortran contains lines like: exec $myFC -fPIC "$@" This is on FreeBSD, and I use the gfortran that comes in the gcc46 port. Does the gcc built inside of sage have the "-fPIC" flag set automatically on its fortran? I can easily make the FreeBSD port do this. But I would like to know exactly how you did it, so that I don't unnecessarily "-fPIC" too many files.
