You mean without the -fpic option!?

I really have only built these two libraries by myself and gcc of 
course, libobj being a part of that build!?

For building gcc I currently use

        cd /opt/temp
        pkgadd -d gmp-4.2.1-sol10-x86-local
        pkgadd -d mpfr-2.4.0-sol10-x86-local

        cd /usr/src
        gunzip mpfr-2.4.0.tar.gz
        tar xvf mpfr-2.4.0.tar
        cd mpfr-2.4.0
        ./configure
        make
        make install

        cd /usr/src
        gunzip gcc-4.2.3.tar.gz
        gtar xvf gcc-4.2.3.tar
        cd gcc-4.2.3
        mkdir objdir
        cd objdir
	../configure --with-gnu-as --with-as=/usr/sfw/bin/gas --without-gnu-ld 
--with-ld=/usr/ccs/bin/ld --enable-shared --disable-nls 
--enable-languages=c,c++,objc --disable-multilib
        make
        make install

Anything wrong with this? When I now build any library I also see the 
-fpic option in each gcc call!?

Thanks,

 Andreas
