Compiling Problem with DBD 2.9008 on ia64

Hello All,

I am having a problem getting DBD to compile on my SGI Altix with Itanium2 
processors. I've downloaded the MySQL binary, 
mysql-standard-4.1.12-unknown-linux-gnu-ia64-icc-glibc23, and it appears 
to run fine. 

When I try to do a make on DBD however I get errors that tell me: gprel 
relocation against dynamic symbol

From what I understand this is because I am running a MySQL that hasn't 
been configured with --with-pic. Do I need to download and recompile 
MySQL? I'm hesitant to do this, as the binary package as already been 
compiled with the Intel Compilers. Although I do have the 9.0 compilers, I 
fear it may be a whole pile of steps backwards as I try to get it to 
compile.
