Thanks for the report! I googled around and this seems to be expected behavior at least for AMD64 (e.g., http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/base/amd64/howtos/index.xml?part=1&chap=3 ). I don't have ready access to a 64-bit machine to try this on. The only thing I can suggest at the moment is to manually add -fPIC to CFLAGS in the plug-in's Makefile, then "make clean" and "make" and see if that works.
