Yes, this is with the default system compiler on 6.2.  The problem with
the automatic port testing system is that it will not test all
configurations.  For instance, it doesn't set WITH_DEBUG and it looks
like this is the problem.  I end up with

mkdir -p ../pwlib/device/sound
g++ -pipe -g -g -O1 -I/usr/ports/devel/pwlib/work/pwlib_v1_10_3/include
-I/usr/local/include  -DP_USE_PRAGMA -D_REENTRANT -pthread -Wall  -g
-D_DEBUG -DNDEBUG -I/usr/ports/devel/pwlib/work/pwlib_v1_10_3/include \
         \
        -I. -shared sound_oss.cxx
-o ../pwlib/device/sound/oss_pwplugin.so
/usr/bin/ld: /var/tmp//ccdbuvz1.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S can not be
used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

Stop in /usr/ports/devel/pwlib.

It turns out that WITH_DEBUG removes all options that start with -f from
within /usr/ports/Mk/bsd.port.mk.  This is bad for your port as you add
-fPIC in the top Makefile.  More appropriately, you should be doing the
same thing Solaris or Linux does in the make/unix.mak file and add it in
there.
