Yes, I can. That's not an issue ( I was blindly following the POD docs for 
embedding stuff, from the perl site, and it uses 

perl -MExtUtils::Embed -e ldopts

to determine the linker flags to use. For me, that's 

- -Wl,-E  
- -L/usr/local/lib /usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/auto/DynaLoader/DynaLoader.a 
- -L/usr/local/lib/perl5/5.6.1/mach/CORE -lperl -lm -lc -lcrypt -lutil

and now you can see where the problem is coming from. It's no biggie -- I was 
just showing _why_ I should be so brain dead as to try to compile lots of 
stuff with -fPIC.

That would be it. Does it make sense to tweak the port to build shared by 
default on amd64?
