I still have the same problem with ocaml from CVS (exemple from rocaml):

cc -shared -o foo.so foo_rocaml_wrapper.o -L. -L/usr/lib -L.
-rdynamic -Wl,-export-dynamic   foo_rocaml_runtime.o
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/libasmrun.a /usr/local/lib/ocaml/libunix.a
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/libnums.a -lruby1.8  -lpthread -ldl -lcrypt -lm
-lc
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/ocaml/libasmrun.a(startup.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a
shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/ocaml/libasmrun.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [foo.so] Erreur 1

Is there any specific tag to check out from CVS?
