I am trying to compile firefox 1.5b1, and when it build libmozjs.so the
following error appers:

gcc -I/usr/include -Wall -W -Wno-unused -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align
-Wno-long-long -pedantic -pthread -pipe  -DNDEBUG -DTRIMMED -O3

not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

My system is linux-2.6.13-mm2 with glibc-2.3.5


Reproducible: Always

This is a GCC bug, see the links and discussion in bug 307168 (which has a
configure test to work around the GCC bug).
