It looks like libsasldb.so.2 contains code that hasn't been
compiled with -fPIC. This typically happens when a shared
library is constructed by linking against an archive library.

The fix is to review the build of the port and see where non-
PIC code may find its way into a shared object and then change
how those source are being compiled (by adding -fPIC).

FYI,
