RedHat 7.3 and 8 use different versions of GCC, and it is likely that the name mangling scheme has changed between them, since GCC 3.2 uses a different ABI (Application Binary Interface) than earlier versions of GCC (if I recall correctly). This means that regardless of whether you use -fPIC or -fpic or not, C++ code compiled on RedHat 8 with the compiler that comes with it will not be compatible with code compiled on RedHat 7.3. I suspect that if you want to keep building on RedHat 8 with GCC 3.2, you'll need to rebuild all of your C++ code originally built on RedHat 7.3...
