-fPIC error when building vlc on gutsy

libx264.a(common.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

i should recompile libx264 with --enable-PIC
$./configure --prefix=/usr --enable-pic

Build VLC media player under Ubuntu Hardy (8.04) from git

Here is the full howto
The only addition i can make : vlc and ffmpeg switched to git
so to extract the x264 library you would need these command lines

$ cd extras
$ git clone git://git.videolan.org/x264.git
$ git clone git://git.mplayerhq.hu/ffmpeg/
$ cd ffmpeg
$ git clone git://git.mplayerhq.hu/libswscale/
