Hello,

This is not really the proper fix, because:

 1. -fPIC is not only needed for MIPS.

 2. The Makefile already passes -fPIC, but it gets overridden because
    Buildroot passes its own CFLAGS.

So I believe the patch proposed by Stefan S?rensen at
http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/738605/ is a more appropriate
solution.

Thanks!

Thomas
