If your source file is an assembly file (FP32.s), passing -fPIC to the 
compiler won't do any good because the compiler won't even be invoked. 
If this is the case then your assembly has non-PIC code and will need to 
be manually modified. If you're referring to FP32.s as an intermediate 
file and you are invoking the compiler, please see if -mlong-calls makes 
a difference.
