[STR Resolved]

Hello Michael,

I have used --with-optim="-fPIC", but the problem is that -fPIC is only
passed to LDFLAGS, not to CFLAGS, so I still having the same failure.
Please, take a look to this:

./configure --target=mips64-buildroot-linux-uclibc
- --host=mips64-buildroot-linux-uclibc --build=x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu
- --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --program-prefix=""
- --disable-gtk-doc --disable-doc --disable-docs --disable-documentation
- --with-xmlto=no --with-fop=no   --enable-ipv6 --enable-static
- --disable-shared  --without-perl --without-java --without-php
- --disable-gnutls --disable-gssapi --with-optim=-fPIC --libdir=/usr/lib
- --disable-dbus --without-python --disable-pdftops

As you can see, the -fPIC option is present. Now, take a look to this:

As you can see, the -fPIC option is only present on LDFLAGS, not in
ALL_CFLAGS, so I still having the same failure:
