I try to compile a C++ program which uses SunPHIGS 1.3 functions.  Compilation
works fine (well, after hacking phigs.h), but linking gives me the following
error:

g++ -O -I. -I/usr/local/test/include -L/usr/local/test/lib  ex1.o -lphigs -lsuntool -lsunwindow -lpixrect -lm -o ex1
cb_colr.o: Undefined symbol __GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ referenced from text segment
....[deleted]....
cb_ctrl.o: More undefined symbol __GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_ refs follow
gmake: *** [ex1] Error 1

The problem is that the code in libphigs.a has been compiled with 'cc -pic'.
Is there a known workaround?
