Hello Jérome,
I was requested by Felix Salfelder to build gap-dev object files with
-fPIC for this purpose.
Instead of using sed, Sage should use a linker script, this would be
much cleaner.

gap (4r6p5-3) unstable; urgency=low

  * debian/rules:
   - build gap-dev object files with -fPIC to be compatible with use in
     shared libraries.
