<foo> warren: if a library is only available as an archive, it must be
compiled with -fpic
<foo> warren: so that the files can be in a DSO.  tell mharris to fix it
<warren> Is it "correct" for me to -fPIC here, or whack mharris and
wait until it is fixed?
<foo> warren: owen also said, I think, that compiling a DSO is strange
<foo> warren: no, you have to recompile libXdmcp.a
