amd64 compile of rrdtool ( relocation R_X86_64_32 error )

[Steven Hartland]

When compiling rrdtool on amd64 I get the follow. Having read around about
the message I must say I'm none the wiser. I've tried adding -fPIC to the rrd_private
compile but that doesnt seem to have any effect. What am I missing?
