Fails to compile on modern systems (such as Ubuntu 18.04) #54

make fails with the following:

/usr/bin/x86_64-linux-gnu-ld: expand.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.rodata' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC

Makefile:19: recipe for target 'world' failed
make: *** [world] Error 2

Things seem to work if I just jam CFLAGS=-fPIC into Makefile.inc. I don't know if there is a better way to handle this.

I cannot reproduce this, and it seems strange as -fPIC should be added to ADDRUNCFLAGS per default in src/Makefile.inc unless you changed something.

Can you perhaps provide the Makefile.inc you are using?

It seems to work now. Maybe I was using an elderly tarball or something.
