Ah, I see. OpenPKG 2.2 and 2.3... If I remember correctly it was between
OpenPKG 2.3 and 2.4 that we introduced a few workarounds for the AMD64
platform. For instance we hacked the %{l_cflags} variable expansion
to include -fPIC to workaround some binutils problems. And this seems
to be your problem here, too. Although I hoped that Kolab was already
upgraded to a newer OpenPKG release, what you can do as a workaround
is to selectively use packages from newer OpenPKG versions. In your
situation especially the "openpkg", "binutils" and "gcc" packages from
OpenPKG 2.4. Alternatively directly follow the error message advice and
insert -fPIC into the CFLAGS of the sasl.spec file.
