Trouble with building Cyrus on amd64

[mozafar roshany]

Hello everyone.

I want to apply this patch:
http://www.pramberger.at/peter/software/patches/#cyrus (
cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-md5hash.patch<ftp://ftp.pramberger.at/software/patches/cyrus-imapd-2.2.12-md5hash.patch>)
to increase the directory levels of mailboxes. But I've had many problems
with compiling Cyrus. My system is: Debian Lenny, 2.6.26-2-amd64 x86_64. The
last one I can't resolve. The following is the end of make:

It tells about adding -fPIC flag, but I've had no success with adding it to
Makefiles.

I should mention the number of my test users are more than that be handled
by fulldirhash parameter. With this I will have several thousands of
mailboxes at one [A-Z] directory.

Thanks for any suggestions.
