Summary: Perl module fails to compile on AMD64

Initial Comment:
The following compile error is produced on a standard AMD64 (debian/etch) system:

Linking perl.so
gcc -shared  -Wl,-O2 -Wl,-E   openserxs.o perl.o perlfunc.o  -ldl -lresolv `perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts` -o perl.so
/usr/bin/ld: openserxs.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
openserxs.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[1]: *** [perl.so] Error 1

The compile problem can be avoided by adding the -fPIC parameter to the modules/perl/Makefile as shown below:

openserxs.o: openserxs.c openserxs.d
        $(CC) $(DEFS) -fPIC -c -o openserxs.o openserxs.c

This may not be the most elegant solution.  Someone with more wisdom about Make might want to propose an alternate to forcing -fPIC for everyone.

Regards,
Norm

Hi,

thank you for your submission.

I corrected the Makefile to use the correct CFLAGS for the file. Tell me
if you can now correctly compile the module.

We could even completely eliminate the manual cc call; a number of
warnings is produced, then, though.

Regards,
  Bastian
