Description of problem:
libfontenc needs to be rebuild ith fPIC. Rebuild kdebase-3.1.93 in fc2
tree breaks with:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/X11R6/lib64/libfontenc.a(fontenc.o): relocation
R_X86_64_32S can not be used when making a shared object; recompile
with -fPIC
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libfontenc.a: could not read symbols: Bad value



Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
XFree86-4.3.0-42

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
rebuild kdebase-3.1.93 in fc2 tree

Actual Results:  /usr/bin/ld:
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libfontenc.a(fontenc.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S can
not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/X11R6/lib64/libfontenc.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

Expected Results:  it should be build without this problem
