I also found the hint to adding -fPIC to $CFLAGS, at  
http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3

It solved the problem, but "In this case, globally adding -fPIC to  
C[XX]FLAGS resolves the issue, although this practice is discouraged  
because the executables end up being PIC-enabled, too."


I think we discussed the problem with the config.sub a year ago.
http://readlist.com/lists/lists.andrew.cmu.edu/info-cyrus/0/4957.html

Do you have to replace the config.sub or does your configure find the
config.sub in the system?
