We have an autobuild from the CVS repository on GNU/Linux on x86
architectures, using GCC 3.4.3. There is no instability at present.
What surprise me is the command line that is executed. 

I'm just re-running the compilation from a fresh copy of the CVS, here
is an excerpt from the log

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/hugues/polyorb/cvs/polyorb/src'

/bin/sh ../libtool --tag=CC --mode=compile ../support/adacompiler -c -g -O2 -gnatfy -gnatwae -gnatpn -gnatg -I. -I. polyorb-annotations.adb

 ../support/adacompiler -c -g -O2 -gnatfy -gnatwae -gnatpn -gnatg -I. -I. polyorb-annotations.adb -o polyorb-annotations.o

You have the -fPIC -DPIC arguments, and .libs path information for the
-o flag ..

This looks like an autoconf/automake issue. Can you please detail your
autoconf/automake setup ? which version of GNAT are you using, and
which architecture are you using ?
