Runtime relocation problem with gnustep

I posted a copy of this on the "discuss" forum; perhaps this is the 
better place for help. I successfully installed gnustep in YDL 4.1 on my 
Powerbook 17 using the very useful script available at the gnustep.org 
site. After remedying a few problems (lack of obj-C and its libraries in 
the usual YDL installation) it installed fine. When I tried to install 
the most useful app - GWorkspace - I kept getting errors of the 
"R_PPC_REL24 relocation" variety, indicating that variables were out of 
reach using pc-relative addressing modes.  I then added -fPIC (position 
independent code) to all of the makefiles (after running configure) and 
still get these errors. I am tearing my little remaining hair out. Can 
someone please help me?  Here is a copy of the error message (I have 
gotten this message with other apps that I compiled - same library, 
libgnustep-gui...):

[root@localhost gnustep-startup-0.16.0]# openapp GWorkspace
/usr/GNUstep/System/Applications/GWorkspace.app/GWorkspace: error while 
loading shared libraries: 
/usr/GNUstep/System/Library/Libraries/libgnustep-gui.so.0.11: 
R_PPC_REL24 relocation at 0x0fd6559c for symbol `pow' out of range
[root@localhost gnustep-startup-0.16.0]#

Actually, doing a grep of all of the files in the source directory 
displayed an absence of "-fPIC". How do I make sure this is being used 
for compilation?

Thanks!
