That worked. Thanks! The key is that the jvgenmain-generated .o file
also needs to be compiled with -fPIC. Would it make sense to make -fPIC
the default when compiling that .o file?
I then had to figure out how to coax automake+libtool to add the -fPIC.
My quick-and-dirty fix:
AC_DISABLE_STATIC (in configure.in)
AM_CFLAGS = -fPIC
And add $(AM_CLFAGS) to the command to link the executable.
