That looks like this shared library contains code that wasn't compiled with 
the "-fPIC" flag.

How do you get the .o files? The problem should be there. Just add the flag 
-fPIC to the compiler command line, recompile everything and it should 
work.

(i386 IIRC doesn't really distinguish between pic and non-pic, that's why 
you haven't seen the problem already there.)
