Good catch. I never need that on 32bit where it works automatically so I
forgot. This basically means that out plan of using

    configure --enable-static --disable-shared 

doesn't work as configure no longer seems to add -fPIC. That stinks.

I think the simplest solution is to tell configure to stuff itself, and to
use the same Makefile we already use for Windows, maybe with an explicit
-fPIC thrown in for good measure.

(I see that with my projects too. R-Forge is not so strong on OS X support.)
