Description khendricks 2003-06-27 13:26:38 UTC 
Hi,  
 
icu no longer handles building the static libs with -fPIC as it once did in OOo 643.  
That part of the patch got lost somehow.  
  
We need to  force -fPIC even when building static libs if they will be compiled into  
shared libs later in the build.  
  
So I have used dmake create_patch to add this tidbit to the icu-2.2.patch

This will not hurt linux x86 and is neede by linux sparc, linux s390, linux ppc,  
 linux x86-64, etc    
  
Please commit to cws_srx645_ooo11rc if possible? 
 
Thanks

Hi, 
 
Updated the icu-2.2.patch and sure enough the fix is there! 
 
This has to be the fastest bug on record! 
 
I am now verifying this. 
 
Thanks
