build.log for Ruby 1.9.2

When merging Ruby 1.9.2, the compilation fails unless -fPIC is in my CFLAGS.  I believe my error is:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.5.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: dln.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
dln.o: could not read symbols: Bad value

It may be in part an issue with my toolchain or libc, but I believe it's a problem with the Ruby 1.9.2 build process.  I'll attach my build log (gzipped), and any feedback as to what I may be doing wrong would be greatly appreciated.

Also attached is my emerge --info

Ruby 1.9.2 is no longer in the tree. Does this still happen for you with ruby 1.9.3? I can't reproduce this for ruby 1.9.3.
