Up to date arch linux with of_0.9.3, getting linker errors when compiling projects:

Seems to have come out of the blue, didn't happen just some days ago, but haven't done any big changes in the system. Had a really similar problem some months back, but solved it after doing a complete reinstall of the system. Don't want to do that again...

Any takers? I tried adding CFLAGS += -fPIC to config.linux.common.mk, but to no avail. Is it possible/correct to recompile the libs with -fPIC using apothecary? Or recompile so the linker finds the position (the P in PIC, I guess) correctly?
