I think I need the shared library in order to build python. That's the
catch here.

args.o is compiled like this, as are all the files that get copied over
to the gdal src tree:

g++  -I../../coresys/common -I../args -I../image -I../compressed_io
-I../support -O -fPIC
    -Wall -Wno-uninitialized -Wno-deprecated  -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE
    -D_FILE_OFFSET_BITS=64  -c ../args/args.cpp -o args.o

Some other files that are built are compiled like this:

g++ -I../common -O -fPIC -Wall -Wno-uninitialized  -c
../coding/block_coding_common.cpp
    -o block_coding_common.o

Does that give you any clues? Kakadu doesn't use autoconf, or libtool,
in fact I just get to pick between a bunch of makefiles and edit one of
them to suit. I've already editted it to remove support for MMX (it's
written in assembler which apparently is not 64-bit compatible) and to
add the -fPIC option.

Let me know if you've got any more ideas or if I can give you any more
info to help.

Thanks,
Chris
