synopsis-0.6 successfully builds under x86_64/amd64

Of interest is that with CFLAGS: '-O3 -pipe -march=k8' I the build failed telling me that I had to add -fPIC which is something I was under the impression portage is supposed to figured out on its own?  Once I added -fPIC through the command line it built like a charm.

please never ever add -fPIC to your CFLAGS, this is evil.
