Although adding "-fPIC" to CFLAGS does fix the build, I don't think should be necessary -- a better solution would be to update the patch to add in "-fPIC" where needed in the Makefile(s). I can look into this. (Before I tried with CFLAGS set to the rpmbuild-default ones, or with no CFLAGS at all.) Also I was curious if the changes in this patch have been proposed upstream?
