I saw this, and assumed that case 3 - "bug in the build system" - 
applied. I'm not familiar to bjam, and it wasn't clear to me how to pass 
in extra flags. (Answer: pass "cxxflags=-fPIC" as a parameter.)

I've got something built now. I've not run anything yet, so I don't know 
if I'm home and dry; but it compiles without any obvious errors (apart 
from "No rule to make target `all'" when making the openssl tests, which 
I assume is harmless). In case it's of interest, here's the script I ran 
to do the build for me (to be run in a directory containing various 
source tars):

#!/bin/bash

for f in fdo-3.6.0_5104.tar.gz fdoogr-3.6.0_5104.tar.gz 
fdosdf-3.6.0_5104.tar.gz fdoshp-3.6.0_5104.tar.gz 
fdosqlite-3.6.0_5104.tar.gz fdowfs-3.6.0_5104.tar.gz
do
     tar xzf $f
done

# Can't get gdal-1.7.1 to build on 64-bit Linux

rm -rf OpenSource_FDO/Thirdparty/gdal

tar xzf gdal-1.8.0.tar.gz && mv gdal-1.8.0 OpenSource_FDO/Thirdparty/gdal

perl -i.bak -pe 's/libgdal.so.1.14.1/libgdal.so.1.15.0/' 
OpenSource_FDO/Thirdparty/Thirdparty*.sh 
OpenSource_FDO/Thirdparty/Makefile.am

# Don't want installing under /usr/local/fdo-3.7.0, since I don't have 
permission

find OpenSource_FDO -type f | xargs -d '\n' grep -l /usr/local/fdo-3.7.0 
| xargs -d '\n' perl -i.bak -pe 
's|/usr/local/fdo-3.7.0|/usr/local/workspace/robinn/fdo-3.7.0|g'

# I've not got '-E' option to sudo, and I'm not a sudoer anyway

find OpenSource_FDO -type f | xargs -d '\n' grep -l "sudo -E" | xargs -d 
'\n' perl -i.bak -pe 's/sudo -E //'

# Minor tweaks (first of which may not be necessary)

find OpenSource_FDO -type f -name runConfigure | xargs -d '\n' perl 
-i.bak -pe 's/^bitsToBuild=32/bitsToBuild=64/'

perl -i.bak -pe 's/bin.linuxx86\/bjam /bin.linuxx86_64\/bjam 
cxxflags=-fPIC /' OpenSource_FDO/Thirdparty/Thirdparty*.sh

perl -i.bak -pe 
's/\(int\)sqlite3_get_auxdata/(long)sqlite3_get_auxdata/' 
OpenSource_FDO/Providers/SQLite/Src/Provider/SltExprExtensions.cpp

# Tidy up

find OpenSource_FDO -name '*.bak' | xargs rm

# Build

cd OpenSource_FDO

source ./setenvironment.sh

./build_thirdparty.sh

./build_linux.sh


Thanks for your help with this,
