Severity: serious

Justification: FTBFS on amd64

Hi,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, your package failed to build on
amd64.

Relevant part:
> /usr/bin/ld: CMakeFiles/gmsh.dir/Fltk/Main.cpp.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata.str1.1' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
> CMakeFiles/gmsh.dir/Fltk/Main.cpp.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
> collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

The full build log is available from:

About the archive rebuild: The rebuild was done on about 50 AMD64 nodes
of the Grid'5000 platform, using a clean chroot.  Internet was not
accessible from the build systems.
