I think so. libXinerama is only available as a static lib
(/usr/X11R6/lib/libXinerama.a), which is compiled without -fPIC. Linking
such a static library into a shared one (libgfx_gtk.so) won't work in
general, but result in the error in the first quoted line.  
One exception to this general rule is i386, where there's no real difference
between code compiled with and without -fPIC, so, although wrong, it just
happens to work there.
