I've tracked down the cause on amd64 (which had similar linkage problems
to those arnaud reported) to -no-cpp-precomp confusing libtool into
thinking that -fPIC was not supported. I guess the same problem (as it
also occred in libreplace) is what Arnaud sees.

I've checked in a patch. Arnaud, if it works for you, could you report
back & fire off a pre9 into unstable?
