3. make -f Makefile-profile_update-2005.0

Actual Results:  
The above error.

[Comment 1 Danny van Dyk (RETIRED) 2005-04-03 05:55:11 UTC]

Gour: Please remove -fPIC from your CFLAGS.
a) some sources need a -DPIC as well. Especially assembler source need to be PIC
aware.
b) it hides BUGs. Everytime you encounter a package that doesn't build on amd64
due to "please add -fPIC": PLEASE report a BUG on that.

Reopen this BUG if glibc still doesn't build without -fPIC in your CFLAGS.
