Created attachment 60273 [details, diff]
Patches the Makefiles so -fPIC is used as it should.

This patch fixes the problem.
I have notified upstream, so it should be fixed upstream in the next version.

k just got myself access to an amd64 box so I can test it when I get home from
work in the morning.

[Comment 3 Martin Ehmsen (RETIRED) 2005-06-01 00:37:19 UTC]

Upstream has made a new release fbpanel-4.3 which fixes this problem.
I think this is the only fix in the new version, so it should be ok to just upgrade.

[Comment 4 Aaron Walker (RETIRED) 2005-06-01 10:14:30 UTC]

Actually there are quite a few changes.  Please test and make sure it works for you.
