Gidday there,

Thanks for the hint.  However I can't see any reference to -fPIC in the 
makefiles for ppcperflib.  One thing I have discovered though is that 
type 11 is defined in /usr/include/elf.h as R_PPC_ELF14.  This error 
happens twice, for __fixdfsi, and when I look for references to 
__fixdfsi, I find that there are two calls to...

    blt __fixdfsi

inside ppc_dtoui.S.  Looking at the PPC Ref Guide, I see that blt is a 
mnemonic for bc (branch conditional) and uses a relative offset of 14 
bits.  In the same function there is also a use of 'bl' (branch, long I 
think) calling the same __fixdfsi.  So I'm going to add a stupid line of 
assembly to conditionally jump over the branch to __fixdfsi... I hope 
that will work, but I haven't touched assembly since an 80286.
