Bug description:
Hi,

This project has saved my skin more than once but I've got a problem now that I can't solve without a little help. I've installed the python26-* libraries fine on a RHEL5 box but I can't get PIL to build at all with 2.6 due to the following error:

/usr/bin/ld: /usr/local/lib/libpython2.6.a(abstract.o): relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/local/lib/libpython2.6.a: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Now I'm presuming that the python26-library package is built without -fPIC flag? Is there anyway a python26-Imaging package could be added? For reference chris lea has written one but it fails because he set the user to himself :D 

More than happy to test, just not sure how to package this correctly as am normally a django developer!
Cheers,
Dan
