Based on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/spatialite/+bug/1012976 and 
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28904 it would appear that the 
issue is that gcc  chokes on building massive files on powerpc with PIC (your 
file compiles sucessfully if -fPIC is removed) and the gcc developers don't 
consider this a bug.

The ubuntu guys suggested soloution is to modify the program that generates 
the massive C files to generate a collection of smaller C files instead.
