Based on the suggestion of the error and posts such as this http://industriousone.com/topic/issue-placement-fpic-linux I tried to add -fPIC to either CFLAGS or CXXFLAGS. But then I receive an error saying PIC was an invalid option. It seems that fPIC was an option for older versions of gcc but the external linaro toolchain being used doesn't contain this option. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Strangely, my build of qt4-embedded simply fails with very descriptive 
and now familiar error:

| {standard input}: Assembler messages:
