[PYTHON-CRYPTO] Problems building M2Crypto on CentOS running x86_64

[Bill]

I am unable to build M2Crypto 0.19 or 0.20 on CentOS 5 running x86_64.  I have 
not problems building running the same system in 32 bit, but 64 fails.  The 
error suggest recompiling with the -fPIC option, but this has me baffled.

Has anyone managed to build it in 64 bit and if so could you reveal the secret 
(BTW, I tried Ubuntu 8.05 and64 with the same results).
