Hello! Abiword 2.0.6 is unmasked for AMD64 but it does not compile. It gives an error about recompiling with -fPIC.

abiword compiles here without problems. can you re-emerge sys-libs/libtermcap-compat and try again? (the file that has -fPIC problems for you belongs to that package)
I reemerged libtermcap-compat and Abiword compiles now without problems! Thank you.
