Title:
  some boost libraries need recompilation with -fPIC on amd64

Status in “boost-defaults” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Output from some of our software compiling here:

  /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../../lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.a(operations.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.6/../../../../lib/libboost_filesystem-mt.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

  Boost was added to the project via the following code in a
  cmakelists.txt:

    FIND_PACKAGE(Boost 1.46.0
                                  REQUIRED
                                  COMPONENTS date_time filesystem regex systems signals serialization thread)

  I also had this problem with 'regex', removed it from the
  cmakelists.txt just to see what would happen, and hit the same thing
  with filesystem.  The full command that produced the above error was:

  cd /home/tfogal/dev/SCIRunGUIPrototype/bin/Algorithms/DataIO && /usr/bin/cmake -E cmake_link_script CMakeFiles/Algorithms_DataIO.dir/link.txt --verbose=1
  /usr/bin/c++  -fPIC -fPIC -g -Wall   -shared -Wl,-soname,libAlgorithms_DataIO.so -o ../../lib/libAlgorithms_DataIO.so CMakeFiles/Algorithms_DataIO.dir/ReadMatrix.cc.o CMakeFiles/Algorithms_DataIO.dir/WriteMatrix.cc.o ../../lib/libCore_Datatypes.so ../../lib/libAlgorithms_Base.so -Wl,-Bstatic -lboost_date_time-mt -lboost_filesystem-mt -lboost_system-mt -lboost_signals-mt -lboost_serialization-mt -lboost_thread-mt -Wl,-Bdynamic -lpthread -Wl,-rpath,/home/tfogal/dev/SCIRunGUIPrototype/bin/lib
