[V2] gcc-toolset and amd64 issue

Hi !

I'm having problems compiling the BGL graphiv parser on amd64.

The error message is:
------snip-------
gcc.link.dll 
bin.v2/libs/graph/build/gcc-3.4/debug/bgl-viz-gcc34-d-1_33.so.1.33.0
/usr/bin/ld: bin.v2/libs/graph/build/gcc-3.4/debug/graphviz_graph_parser.o: 
relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared object; recompile 
with -fPIC
bin.v2/libs/graph/build/gcc-3.4/debug/graphviz_graph_parser.o: could not read 
symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
--------snap-------------

The problem is that the compiler flag -fPIC is not added to the command line 
when compiling the file graphviz_graph_parser.cpp

The please find a full compile command attached.

I found the logic to add -fPIC in gcc.jam at line 88 but it seems to add -fPIC 
when _linking_ the shared library.

The following patch corrects this and adds -fPIC to the compiler command line 
when compiling object files for shared libraries.

I can vaguely remember that -fPIC was removed from the command line because 
gcc _always_ created relocatable code, at least on 32-bit cpu's.

Yours,

Jürgen
