Taking the warning from hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/int10/vm86/linux_vm86.c
about possible register clashes with the EBX register, I decided to
revert the ubuntu tracked patch that was added between 1.2 and 1.3 that
enabled -fPIC.

I removed 106_ubuntu_fpic_libxf86config.patch from the debian/patches/series
file and rebuild.  There was no difference.  With x86emu and with vm86
it seems to crash regardless of -fPIC.
