Description:
Creating the shared mysqlclient libraries on Linux/AMD64 requires compiling the source by using the --with-pic configure option. This will add "-fPIC" to the compiler flags that will allow the creation of position-independent code. However, it seems like the YaSSL makefiles don't honor this option, the creation of the shared library still fails with the following error:

Looking at the YaSSL compile lines, it indeed does not look like as if "-fPIC" is passed to the compiler - see the attached log file.
How to repeat:
Try to compile MySQL 5.0 with the following compile options "--with-yassl --with-pic --enable-shared" and observe the error during the creation of the shared lib.
Suggested fix:
Make sure the YaSSL builds take these compile options into account
