I have built glibc 2.17 on Chrome OS after chrooting to Ubuntu(raring). Glibc had the --with-headers configure param specified to extracted Chrome OS kernel headers.
Then I installed the results into Chrome OS's /usr/local directory using DESTDIR. I also removed files conflicting with already present glibc, and symlinked the present ones into my new /usr/local/ dir. It worked on i686 kernel, but now that I'm running x86_64(and rebuilt everything under that), this happens while trying to build openssl on Chrome OS:
libcrypto.a(dso_dlfcn.o): In function `dlfcn_globallookup':

I tried rebuilding binutils with -fPIC, but still no luck.
The error states that libdl needs to be recompiled with -fPIC. That's part of libc, not binutils, at least on XUbuntu 13.04
