Maybe this part of configure (line 1815ff) is the culprit?

# PIC flags for shared library objects where they are needed
if enabled shared; then
    # LIBOBJFLAGS may have already been set in the OS configuration
    if test -z "$LIBOBJFLAGS" ; then
        case "$arch" in
            x86_64|ia64|alpha|sparc*|power*) LIBOBJFLAGS='$(PIC)' ;;
        esac
    fi
fi


I wonder why mipsen don't show the same problem, though. Maybe they have
no problem with non-pic code in libraries as i386 has? in that case, the
solution would be obvious: adding hppa to the quoted list...
