same as per bug # 13748 - the ebuild should filter out this flag and everything compiles peachy keen.
fixed :) rsync and re-emerge
sys-apps/util-linux-2.11z-r5 commited to portage which should allow us to stop filtering out fPIC. Tested on ~x86 but should work for other arches. Please test.
submitted a real fix (to actually let it compile with pic code) in 2.11z-r5, please test
now changing to test request.. report results here please
Jeremy, well?
please reopen if you still this -- no other instances of it have been reported since.
