Hi

As I don't understand well the compiling process of xorp 1.5 so I have a
question. 

What is the diference of building xorp using switch --enable-shared vs
--with-pic in a Linux system.

If building xorp with snmp support it will generate shared libraries
for mibs that are made with objects compiled without -fPIC.  This is a
problem in Linux and even breaks on x86_84 systems.  

What is best? --enable-shared or with-pic

See bug report on Debian for more info
