Thanks, that's great - I've got something to go on now. Here is an example
compilation command from the build of the kde libs, it does have '-fPIC'. I'll
try building the libs without that, and ask on the kde-develop list why they
use it.

 gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I../.. -I../../dcop -I../../libltdl
-I../../kdecore -I../../kdeui -I../../kssl -I/usr/lib/qt-2.3.0/include
-I/usr/X11R6/include -I/opt/kde2/include -D_REENTRANT -DICE_t -DTRANS_SERVER
-DTRANS_CLIENT -DUNIXCONN -DANSICPP -O2 -Wp,-MD,.deps/authutil.pp -c authutil.c
 -fPIC -DPIC -o .libs/authutil.o
