I have googled and found of on 
http://www.phpman.info/index.php/info/gcc the hint:

`-mimpure-text'
     `-mimpure-text', used in addition to `-shared', tells the compiler
     to not pass `-z text' to the linker when linking a shared object.
     Using this option, you can link position-dependent code into a
     shared object.

     `-mimpure-text' suppresses the "relocations remain against
     allocatable but non-writable sections" linker error message.
     However, the necessary relocations will trigger copy-on-write, and
     the shared object is not actually shared across processes.
     Instead of using `-mimpure-text', you should compile all source
     code with `-fpic' or `-fPIC'.

     This option is only available on SunOS and Solaris.

If I understand this correct thsi tells me to either use the 
-mimpure-text or fpic option with gcc. However, how do I tell make to 
use this option when doing

        cd base
	./configure --with-openssl-include=/usr/local/ssl/include 
--with-openssl-library=/usr/local/ssl/lib
        make

??

Thanks a lot,

 Andreas
