>Description:
The sysutils/dbus package from current pkgsrc builds, but then fails to
run, like so (a familiar issue I've seen before with liboil, etc.):

[disciple@arcusv:disciple]$ /usr/pkg/bin/dbus-daemon --version
/usr/pkg/bin/dbus-daemon: Unsupported relocation type 6 in non-PLT 
relocations

This also causes sysutils/dbus-glib to fail while being built, since it
depends on running dbus:

Making all in tools

`/usr/pkgsrc/sysutils/dbus-glib/work/dbus-glib-0.76/tools'

>How-To-Repeat:

>Fix:
Nothing I know of at present.  I saw the open PR 38961 relates to the
same problem, but I don't think that exact fix is applicable here.  The
associated configure script accepts the argument --without-pic, but
that doesn't seem to be effective.  That is, it doesn't disable the
options in question.
