This appears to be the result of a patched gcc. I can not reproduce this
in my dev environment (with vanilla unpatched gcc).

However, if your gcc defaults to PIC code on i386, then the observed
behavior will happen. I'm not quite sure how best to fix this. Can you
please try changing your Makefile to add -fno-pic to the gcc options,
see if that helps?
