libtool 1.4 has some switches related to PIC or no-PIC. But I haven't
installed it. And I didn't know if I want to install it, as long as it
isn't in the FreeBSD ports collection (there a alot of ports which
depend on libtool, and libtools isn't updated yet, because it creates
conflicts (build failures) for those ports).

I wait for a response from the gcc/binutils maintainer in FreeBSD for a
note why ld core dumps if I try to link liblameasmroutines to
libmp3lame.

If you want to just reenable the asm routines just remove the '#' before
the ASM_FOR_ARCH in configure{.in,}. And try if it still works (I made
some changes because of the bugreport with libtool 1.4)!

Bye,
Alexander.
