compiles fine on x86_64 and also in my 32 bits chroot.
Of course this patch is dumb, but as michael has said we cannot use
ebx with pic and gcc.
A possible fix would be to readd the hack that wouldnt use ebx with
pic and __GNUC__ defined, but I dunno if this is wanted.
A probably better one would be to add a check for ebx with pic in
configure with something like :
#ifdef PIC
test ebx
#endif
compiled with -fPIC (or with a more portable way) and with
-D$LIBOBJFLAGS (the syntax is wrong but you get the idea) so that it
would be a "generic" check for ebx with pic without requiring special
ifdef's for gcc (and then update the if defined logic to reflect that)
anyway I'm just suggesting here as you probably have a better
knowledge than me on those issues.
As I see I haven't answered to your first question about how we build
pic libs on x86_32 :
# Make it use pic always since we don't need textrels
sed -i -e "s:LIBOBJFLAGS=\"\":LIBOBJFLAGS=\'\$\(PIC\)\':" configure
