Use of gsl on x86_64


Hello there,
I am trying to use gsl on F8 with a third party programme
'root' (root.cern.ch) which needs to be compiled. On i686 this was fine,
but on x86_64 I get:

usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib64/libgslcblas.a(sasum.o): relocation R_X86_64_32
against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib64/libgslcblas.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

The advice from that end is tp do what gcc says - compile gsl with
-fPIC. I wondered whether there is a reaction here - could we change the
Fedora build to include this?

Thank you,
Bill
