Hello all,

I'm wondering if this has been resolved to date. I get this error 
on master:

/usr/bin/ld: generated/linux/release/64/libphobos2.so.0.66.o: 
relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
generated/linux/release/64/libphobos2.so.0.66.o: could not read 
symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

even though I've built with fPIC:

cc -c  -m64 -fPIC -O3 etc/c/zlib/trees.c 
-ogenerated/linux/release/64/etc/c/zlib/trees.o
cc -c  -m64 -fPIC -O3 etc/c/zlib/uncompr.c 
-ogenerated/linux/release/64/etc/c/zlib/uncompr.o
cc -c  -m64 -fPIC -O3 etc/c/zlib/zutil.c 
-ogenerated/linux/release/64/etc/c/zlib/zutil.o

etc...
