[ltt-dev] unable to link marker-lib - relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against `__stop___markers' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Hello,

I am unable to build markers-userspace-0.5 (or 0.6).  Here's what I get:

make -f Makefile_64

gcc -Wl,-Telf_x86_64.xmark -O2 -fPIC -DCONFIG_MARKERS -shared -o libtestlib.so testlib.c marker-lib.o
/usr/bin/ld: marker-lib.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against
`__stop___markers' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC
marker-lib.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libtestlib.so] Error 1

I have patched my elf_x86_64.x per the included patch.

clearly marker-lib.o is being built with the -fPIC option... Any suggestions?

X86_64 kernel 2.6.26.5, otherwise FC7 system. using gcc 4.1.2 

Any assistance appreciated.

Thanks,

Lance
