Hello Stephen,

The message is:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libgfx.a(time.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

That means that graphics/libgfx should be modified to use -fPIC, and
better to produce a shared library (maintainer Cc'ed).

Regards,

Th. Thomas.
