Issues creating a dynamic libary with dub

[mitchell]

Hello,

I'm having issues creating a dynamic library with dub.
The dub config file contains (with the exception of the names and 
such) only

     targetType "dynamicLibrary"

When I attempt to buld the library, I get:

     common ~master: building configuration "library"...
     /usr/bin/ld: 
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/libgphobos2.a(ascii.o): 
relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.data' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
     /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/5/libgphobos2.a: error adding 
symbols: Bad value
     collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
     gdc failed with exit code 1.

I've been working with D for quite a while, but I've never really 
used dub. It looks like dub is attempting to attach phobos to the 
dynamic link library I'm trying to create. Is there something 
simple which I'm missing entirely?

I would have asked on the dub forums, but they seem to be down 
right now.
