Build with -fPIC?

[h-vetinari]

It seems like the libraries here are built without an explicit setting for position-independent code. I'm surprised this hasn't come up before, so it's possible that I'm holding it wrong, but in any case, the following happened in conda-forge/gammaray-feedstock#2 (added linebreaks for legibility)

[...]/x86_64-conda-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
[...]/_build_env/lib/libbfd.a(elf64-x86-64.o):
relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `_bfd_elf_large_com_section' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC

and I verified that libbfd.a is from this feedstock.

This error means conda version of libbfd is not compiled with PIC option. This should be fixed by recompiling the package properly. see: https://packages.debian.org/unstable/binutils-dev
