 This package wants to build two versions of demo.o, a PIC version and a
 non-PIC version. In my case, it's doing so (though it's doing something
 else unrelated that's not correct, but that doesn't break the build).
 Is your environment generating distinct versions of these objects?
 
 This error can evidently occur when there's some whackiness going on
 with autoconf macros, but I wouldn't know where to point you to figure
 that one out here.
