It complains, but continues compiling (the complaint is something along 
the "all code is location independent on win32" line), originally, I had 
the flag hard coded
into the compiler flags, but it was later conditionally removed because 
it caused a compilation error on a platform, I don't remember which one 
though, I wasn't
the one who made the change (though I might have applied the patch).
