I chose to be on the safe side: I can and have tested this myself on Linux x86-64 but am not sure if it's needed on the BSD's for example. Even for Linux someone mentioned that probably i386 is the exception in _not_ needing the -fPIC linkage. It might even be specific to the Perl "xs" implementation specifics? So I should have added "Works for me (TM)"! ;-) -- Marco Roeland - : send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
