When static libraries are built for AMD64 linux they _must_ be
compiled using PIC, otherwise linkage will fail.
The attached patch is the same solution I've contributed to libcurl,
and which has proven to be efective.
The 'trick' is to set to 'yes' variable 'with_pic' for x86_64 linux
BEFORE the AC_PROG_LIBTOOL call in configure.in
