golem-0.0.5-r1.ebuild fails to emerge on amd64 system.
There are many errors like this,

parseparams.c: In function `parseparams':
parseparams.c:169: warning: deprecated use of label at end of compound statement
gcc simple_menus.o menu.o parseparams.o -o simple_menus.so -shared
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/3.3.3/../../../../x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ld
: simple_menus.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be used when making a shared obj
ect; recompile with -fPIC


The following patch fixes this error.

done. but for future reference, the added line should be:

use amd64 && append-flags -fPIC

So we don't stomp on any other arches...
