Compiling with the -fPIC fixes the problem. I had to do this for the

util.c libisieve.c prot.c
Why does -fPIC fix this problem?
Code to be used in a shared library must be position-independent, since
it will be linked into various applications at different places in the
various applications that link to that library. The linker was
complaining that a relocation type used was not suitable in a shared
library because it could not be made to be position-independent, and
recompiling with -fPIC made the compiler avoid that addressing mode and
relocation type.
