I can easily believe that. -fPIC seems to be a very recent requirement, and
I have yet to see any explanation other than "it makes those broken
libraries work". I am not surprised at all that Joe x86 Lib-Hacker has no
idea that -fPIC might be an absolute requirement on some exotic platforms.
:/
At any rate, a YDL2 update and an upstream mail is clearly needed.
