libfl.a (and perhaps other libraries within flex) need(s) to be built with
-fPIC for amd64.  

i also posted this here:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-469719-highlight-.html

Created an attachment (id=92952) [details]
flex-2.5.33-fPIC.patch

Ok, flex's makefile is a bit messy, and this is a pretty nasty hack, but it
seems to do the trick, I will commit this once base-system ok's it.
