Description:
I was trying to build shared version of gtkd-2 and had an error:

$ make shared
...
dmd -shared -oflibgtkd-2.so -L-soname=libgtkd-2.so.0 libgtkd-2.so.o
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/libphobos2.a(object_.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.data' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/libphobos2.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
--- errorlevel 1
make: *** [libgtkd-2.so] Error 1

I then rebuilt dmd and libphobos with -fPIC enabled using ABS, it fixed this problem. Is is possible to compile dmd/phobos with this option by default?
Diff of PKGBUILD attached.


Additional info:
* package version(s)
dmd/libphobos 2.062-1

Tested on x64 only

I could fix this for now but I think this is definitely an upstream error. They can already figure out the arch! Why wouldn't they set the correct flags? Please report this upstream and link the report.
