"Recompile with -fPIC" - But recompiling with -fPIC doesn't fix

Question

GCC Error:

relocation R_X86_64_32S against `ebx' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Even when I made sure the -fPIC flag is set.

If you're trying to compile a file that includes inline assembly, make sure you're not missing a % sign before a register.

Make sure to use -fPIC on the linker line. Sometimes templates get compiled by the linker.

That error message should say "without -fPIC".
