[DynInst_API:] Several Dyninst build issues

[Jim Galarowicz <jeg@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Dyninst team:

I have several issues to report, all relating to building Dyninst on different platforms.   I still have Dyninst-8.1.2 the default because Dyninst-8.2 doesn't build on BG/Q (as issue) and I now I see not on Ubuntu.

I have a potential user (if we can get past these build issues), who can't get dyninst-8.1.2 to build on two different platforms.  So, I tried to build Dyninst-8.2 on my ubuntu platform (which is one of Engelbert's platforms of choice).   I ran into two issues.  

Issue 1: (I got around this by using my own binutils with fPIC enabled.)

Linking CXX shared library libcommon.so
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/../../../../lib/libiberty.a(cplus-dem.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `_sch_istable' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

make: *** [all] Error 2
error: Bad exit status from /home/jeg/OpenSpeedShop_ROOT/INSTALL/jeg-OptiPlex-GX620/rpm-tmp.q8MdTd (%build)

Issue 2: (haven't gotten around and could use advice)

  Issue 3: (Engelbert's ubuntu issue):

hi jim, 

another error has shown up which has to do with libdwarf.so. I did "sudo apt-get install libdwarf-dev" but this brought me no relief... Here' the error:

...

Issue 4:  (Engelbert's second issue on a non-ubuntu platform):

tried installing the latest version of open speed shop (rc-openspeedshop-release-2.1-u3.tar.gz) on a scientific linux (using gcc 4.8.1) but get the error below 

i used this command to get it going
