I'm not. It might be a make bug.
I've seen make say something like "[ ... ignored ]" when ignoring an error.

Anyway, after spending another two hours on the -fPIC problem, I'm
starting to think the xfree86 lib build is broken by design for __hppa__.
I'll send out another mail with a patch + recipe for building the libs.
I'm pretty close to finding workarounds (not solutions) for the problems.

Do other arches allow non-PIC .o's to be linked into a .so lib?
