Description: -fPIC needed for plperl & amd64

Details:

Hi,

It seems that in order to build plperl on amd64, -fPIC is needed in CFLAGS.

Here's a trivial patch that fixes this for FreeBSD. It also adds the
possibility to link plperl even if there is no shared libperl.so, only a
static libperl.a. On FreeBSD, the perl ports are usually built with
libperl.a only.
