libxml2.a and -fPIC

[Dmitry Sivachenko]

Hello!

I am writing some kind of shared library at work which uses libxml2.

I want to link statically with it.

When I try, I get the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libxml2.a(error.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against 
`a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

If I add -fPIC to CFLAGS and recompile libxml2 port, this error disappears.

Is it possible to make this change to port so libxml2.a is always built with -fPIC?

Thanks!
