[Gnash-dev] Error when building on gentoo x86_64: boost... recompile with -fPIC

[dolphinling]

I'm trying to build gnash on a gentoo x86_64 system with no 32-bit libraries. 
When I run make, the build fails with the error:

/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld: 
/usr/lib64/libboost_thread-mt-s.a(mutex.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against 
`boost::thread_resource_error::~thread_resource_error()' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib64/libboost_thread-mt-s.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[2]: *** [libgnashbase.la] Error 1
make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/andrew/gnash/gnash/libbase'
make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/andrew/gnash/gnash'
make: *** [all] Error 2

This problem has been mentioned a few times in the past: at 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnash/2008-01/msg00043.html (Jan 16) someone 
mentions it on the mailing list, and at 
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/gnash/2008-01/msg00046.html (Jan 16) Rob 
Savoye says he checked in a fix for it. Then at 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?21977 (Jan 19) someone mentioned it in an 
(unrelated) bug and attached a patch, which it seems nothing was done with since 
the original bug was fixed.

I don't know if this bug wasn't actually fixed by rsavoye's checkin on the 16th, 
or if it was fixed but resurfaced.

I'm configuring gnash with
./configure --enable-gui=gtk --enable-renderer=ogl

CVS is up to date, and this is after a fresh autogen and configure.

Boost is 1.34.1-r2 from gentoo's repository. My CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS are 
specified as "-O2 -pipe -march=athlon64" in make.conf. I don't know what if 
anything the ebuild does that might be strange.
