...I have looked at these patches and commited them partially to CVS. I'm
not sure about the fPIC trouble, perhaps Daniel has time to look at your
changes in that area. I hear from Siggi that there's trouble with binutils
at least on the ia64 platform not allowing to have libraries not compiled
with the -fPIC flags, but I don't know anything specific. Is there a real
technical reason for this on these platforms, or is these just "policy" ?
Independant from that, would it be sufficient to compile libxine with
-fPIC and compile the plugins without that flag? Anybody here have any
imagination of what performance impact this would have?

Cheers,
