You have to compile the source with the appropriate PIC
compiler option. If you are using gcc then this option is
-fPIC, but please consult your compiler documentation for
the exact usage.

You have to use the .o files from the -fPIC compilation,
not the .lo files (the latter does not contain any object
code at all).
