[Gdal-dev] gdal on amd64 needs -fPIC?

[Vincent Schut]

More info:
both netcdf/hdf and gdal need -fPIC. I tried compiling gdal with -fPIC while 
having hdf4 compiled without, and that didn't work out.
Might be that gdal when compiled without hdf4 support doesn't need -fPIC, but 
as I need hdf4 support I didn't try that yet.
