Bugzilla Bug 79711

Kdebase and arts fails to compile with binutils 2.15.92.0.2 on AMD64. Kdebase
fails with this:

And arts fails with a similar message. More info about this problem can be

The solution is to downgrade binutils to the last stable: 2.15.90.0.1. I'm
setting this bug to "major" since it's the stable binutils that fails.

Reproducible: Always

drop the PIC and linker crap from your CFLAGS and try again

This is possibly a duplicate of BUG #78720. Investigating...
