amd64 team can you look at the error and determine if there is an easy patch we can work in or is a deep upstream issue?

Created attachment 50716 [details, diff]
patch

I came across this yesterday - the problem is that it tries to link the plugin
.so against the static, and hence non-PIC, version of libotr.  The attached
patch fixes the Makefile to used the shared version.
