It's not just Kaffe that must be compiled with -fPIC.  In fact, it's
alreayd compiled with -fPIC by default.  It's any other libraries that
Kaffe uses, such as zlib, gmp, etc (see FAQ/FAQ.requiredlibraries)
that must be shared libraries or at least built with -fPIC.

The alternative is to upgrade glibc to some recent release that
doesn't present this dynamic linker bug.
