confirmed here also on 32 bits, but not on 64.
[the compiler failing with a different output doesnt mean the reason
is different : enabling asm that gcc doesnt want to build with pic; as
far as my understanding goes this apparently can be fixed on x86_64
but this doesnt seem to be possible on 32]

and why do you want to add fPIC to cflags ? it's needed only for
shared libs (here I really mean needed : I'm talking about e.g.
x86_64).
Wouldn't that be better to build non pic static libs and pic shared
libs when --enable-shared is given ? (see attachment)
