>Description:
When trying to build audio/audacity, audio/portaudio gets built.

audio/portaudio fails to build, with an error message like (again, I
cannot paste into here with links-gui; known links-gui bug):


ld: pa_common/pa_convert.o relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a 
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
pa_common/pa_convert.o: could not read symbols: Bad value

>How-To-Repeat:
Try to build audio/portaudio on an AMD64 with GCC 3.3.3 from earlier
this year.
>Fix:
It seems to build, at least, if I edit Makefile.in (already patched
by patches/patch-ac) in this manner:

CC = @CC@ -fPIC


I made this change, generated a new patch-ac, redid the distinfo files,
and "make clean && make update" now builds and installs without problem.

I cannot attest to it beyond that.
