svm.o is not position-independent. You need to compile *svm.o*
with -fPIC. Passing that option to any other compiler commands,
or the linker line, will be irrelevant. Once you've done that,
you may find that additional object files are not
position-independent, either, you then need to compile these
with -fPIC as well.
