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

Created attachment 92952 [details, diff]
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.
