This is Libtool. Re-running 'libtool', with correct options, should be able to 
fix this. I have very little experience with Libtool, so I'm not sure how 
this is fixed. It might be something in configure.ac.

This is probably for static libraries, in which case gcc will give them -fpie 
even though it's not on the command line. It's better to use Libtool so -fpic 
or -fPIC is used... to pass more control to the package developers, but on 
x86 it doesn't seem to matter.
