Jack,
That's ... interesting. PIC-ness affects the correctness of the
code for the failing test? (Were you able to reproduce the t-hamdist
fail?) Something seems amiss. Is your 'gcc' FSF's 4.1.0, or one of
Apple's? (Incidentally, you can pass CFLAGS=-fPIC CXXFLAGS=-fPIC as
configure params, that guarantees that your flags come last, and not
overridden by anything else the maintainer defined.)

Anyhow, thanks for the update, good to hear that someone's got it
working. Now if we can trust the coverage of 'make check', then we're
good to go. :)
