[hylafax-users] 4.2.0rc2 compile error

[stan@xxxxxxxxxxxxx]

on an alpha linux machine i get errors like:

/usr/bin/g++ -shared -fpic -Wl,-soname,libfaxutil.so -o libfaxutil.so.4.2.0rc2 Array.o BoolArray.o Dictionary.o Obj.o PageSize.o RE.o REArray.o REDict.o StackBuffer.o Str.o StrArray.o StrDict.o Dispatcher.o IOHandler.o Sys.o SystemLog.o Timeout.o Fatal.o AtSyntax.o DialRules.o FmtTime.o Sequence.o TimeOfDay.o FaxDB.o TextFormat.o Class2Params.o FaxClient.o FaxConfig.o FaxRecvInfo.o FaxSendInfo.o JobExt.o ModemExt.o SendFaxJob.o SendFaxClient.o TypeRules.o Transport.o InetTransport.o UnixTransport.o SNPPClient.o SNPPJob.o cvtfacility.o fxassert.o \

Putting 
{OBJECTS}: GC++OPTS+=-fpic into util/Makefile.LINUXdso
and 
${SERVER_OBJS}: GC++OPTS+=-fpic
${MODEM_OBJS}: GC++OPTS+=-fpic into faxd/Makefile.LINUXdso

seems to resolve this, but from my understanding of
http://people.redhat.com/drepper/dsohowto.pdf all code going into a dso
should be compiled with -fpic/fPIC so thought this change need not be
specific to the alpha.  Is this something that should be included in the
release or is there a better way?
