dovecot - Oct 2007 - Compiling drac.c on a 64 bit system

I have just installed dovecot and want to set up the drac interface. However, 
when I compile drac.c I get the following link errors; anybody know what the 
right compile options are for a 64 bit system? I have a Gentoo Linux system 
using the amd64 architecture.


gcc -Wall -W -shared -fPIC -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I$dovecot -I$dovecot/src/lib    
drac.c -o drac.so -ldrac
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libdrac.a(dracauth.o):
relocation R_X86_64_32S against `a local symbol' can not be used when making
a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/4.1.2/../../../../lib64/libdrac.a: could not 
read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

TIA
-Robin.

your libdrac is compiled without -fPIC -pic
