I made a hack to fix this in the perl spell directly (the only place it can 
be 
fixed) in BUILD:

'./Configure' has an additional option '-Doptimize="$CFLAGS"'.

Perl used to not even take our optimization flags.  Now it does.

So if you add -fPIC to the cflags (or use the prelink optimizations 
option), everything should work out ok once perl is rebuilt.

I did this on 2005-05-11 in devel, test, and stable-rc.
