now that is very weird.
i am pretty sure that zexy's configure does perform a check for "-fPIC".
to be precise, here on my machine this check is performed right after
ms-bitfield, the corresponding output lines look like:

where did you get zexy from? from CVS?
or is it a source release from pd.iem.at ?
i suggest using the CVS version (zexy is pretty much stable: i seldom
add features, most changes are bug-fixes and i usually forget to make a
new release after such minor changes)
