    25     for x86_64 (it tries to link statically linked archives compiled without

     25    for its internal libtool. On x86_64 it is not possible to link statically
     26    linked archives compiled without -fPIC against shared objects and the suite
     27    stops without running the main body of the tests.  Use the following
