Bugzilla Bug 82646

When trying to emerge qhull on my amd 64 system I get the following error

c++ -shared -Xlinker -soname -Xlinker libqhull.so -o libqhull.so user.o global.o stat.o io.o geom2.o poly2.o merge.o qhull.o geom.o poly.o qset.o mem.o

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Tried to emerge octave-forge with qhull flag set
2. 
3.

Actual Results:  
qhull compile would fail with the error message mentioned above

Expected Results:  
emerge completely without errors

I am reporting this bug as suggested by the amd64 tech notes
(http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/technotes.xml?part=2&chap=3#doc_chap9)
and a work around is to compile qhull with CFLAGS='-fPIC' included.  The emerge
then sucessfully compiles

Fixed in CVS :-)
Wait an hour, emerge sync and try again...
