[SSI-devel] [Fix] Error with Gnu build on x86

[Aneesh K. K.V <ane...@di...>]

When trying to build the cluster-tools on x86 with Gnu build. we were
getting the error 

"fixed or forbidden register 3 (bx) was spilled for class BREG"


>From the google serach i found the following the comment from 
Alexandre Oliva <aoliva at redhat dot com>

" ebx is the PIC register, which means it's a fixed register with -fPIC"

So i guess when building shared library implementing system calls
we should not say -fPIC. We can say this by using configure option 
--without-pic


This is needed only for x86.
