amd64 & fPIC & shared libraries

[alion]

It's a fact, that on certain architectures (AMD64 among them), shared libraries must be PIC enabled.

But when I'm trying to link a library I get the following message:

libc.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC libc.o: could not read symbols: Bad value

So I already recompiled a bunch of the libraries my app is dependent of.
But I did that using source checkout and ./configure && make.

Is there a good-looking way to compile the whole runtime (libc + libstdc++,etc) with fPIC flag on Ubuntu?

I have the same issue, I can't compile gpac or swfdec because of it. Does this mean that I have to recompile ffmpeg when for example gpac links to libavcodec.a?

I receive this error as well....im trying VERY hard to force shared library compiles....yet its like the system doesnt have a way to force my newly created shared library into my header files search path..
