-fPIC "CFLAG" is mandatory in order to compile ilmbase and openexr. Looks like they work "ok" before adding the flag to the AMD64 architecture. The affected packages are: media-libs/openexr, media-libs/ilmbase as far as I know. But the whole lib controls should be affected too... Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Try to compile without -fPIC. Got it!
