Can you try without setting -fPIC?

Setting -fPIC implies that you are trying to build shared libraries. If that is 
what you are trying to do, then please rerun configure with --enable-shared and 
try again. There is usually a little more to building shared libraries than 
just setting -fPIC, so something might be going wrong because of that.

I also suggest that you try with the latest snapshot release. It's possible 
that your root login has stricter settings for what will be tolerated from 
memory calls. We had some malloc(0) calls that have recently been removed, and 
one of those could be causing your problem:

Let me know if this helps.

Thanks,
