Hi Dan,

You cannot use -fpic or -fPIC when compiling code for an
MPE system.   The .o files generated by gcc are still
'relocatable' in MPE terms, which is somewhat different
than 'position independent' in UNIX terms.  Since each
shared library on MPE is mapped into its own private
space, there is no need for the code to be PIC, which
is necessary on UNIX because all shared libraries and
the program share a single space.
