Dear Richard,

a request: Can you please use standard quoting  rules?  It  makes  no
sense  at  all to include the whole previous message at the bottom of
your posting.

I can't parse that. How can you set a text address "below" 0 ???

I've been told that using -fpic instead of -fPIC will fix this,  too,
but  I had no time yet to either verify this myself, nor to check for
consequences on other systems (like PPC).
