Can you try using CFLAGS+=3D-fPIC in your Makefile, after cleaning, for
testing?

gcc(1) at me says:
	[...]
       -shared
           Produce a shared object which can then be linked with other obje=
cts
           to form an executable.  Not all systems support this option.  For
           predictable results, you must also specify the same set of optio=
ns
           that were used to generate code (-fpic, -fPIC, or model suboptio=
ns)
           when you specify this option.[1]

To exclude that the problem is not of general nature I compiled R-2.6.0 on =

platforms: i386 (NetBSD v3.1.1_PATCH) and amd64 (NetBSD v4.99.52) -- there=

anything went well.
