As far as I know, the default options for compiling the files for the archive on Fedora and Debian does not include -fPIC. To compile PyD things with ldc the .a archive has to have -fPIC since a shared object is being created. Am I just building LDC from Git incorrectly?

Shouldn't you be linking to the .so anyway?

cmake ../ -DBUILD_SHARED_LIBS=true

That would be my choice :-)

Aha, that is what I was missing. I should have guessed that. I shall claim that my brain is too highly trained.
