[Announcement] Tinc version 1.1pre10 released

[Lance Fredrickson]

I'm having trouble compiling this.  I typically create a static binary 
for mips devices for use in routers of different firmwares.
Typically I create static libraries on which tinc is dependent  (lzo 
zlib openssl ncurses readline) . In this release, tinc doesn't see the 
static libraries, just the development .h files when running 
./configure.  So I compiled static and shared libraries, so it will make 
it through the configure script.  Then when I compile tinc I run

make LIBS="-static -lcrypto -ldl -llzo2 -lz"
and this typcically will give me static binaries.

But with pre10 I get this.

/opt/entware-toolchain/lib/gcc/mipsel-linux-uclibc/4.6.4/../../../../mipsel-linux-uclibc/bin/ld: 
/opt/entware-toolchain/lib/gcc/mipsel-linux-uclibc/4.6.4/crtbeginT.o: 
relocation R_MIPS_HI16 against `a local symbol' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/opt/entware-toolchain/lib/gcc/mipsel-linux-uclibc/4.6.4/crtbeginT.o: 
could not read symbols: Bad value

I think maybe it's trying to static link to libc. For some reason this 
release is hating anything I try to link statically.
