Huh. On Linux platforms, the PG makefiles should include -fpic in
CFLAGS (via CFLAGS_SL) automatically; you should not need to repeat it
in CPPFLAGS. For instance, if I go into contrib/adminpack and make, I see
sed 's,MODULE_PATHNAME,$libdir/adminpack,g' adminpack.sql.in >adminpack.sql
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing
-fwrapv-g -fpic -I../../src/interfaces/libpq -I. -I../../src/include -D_GNU_SOURCE -c -o adminpack.o adminpack.c
gcc -O2 -Wall -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wdeclaration-after-statement -Wendif-labels -fno-strict-aliasing
-fwrapv-g -fpic -shared adminpack.o -L../../src/port -Wl,-rpath,'/home/tgl/testversion/lib' -o adminpack.so
What do you get? What does pg_config report for the various FLAGS
variables?
