May I ask how? I have tried to edit src/makefiles/Makefile.linux
and changed -fpic to -fPIC, but it does not help. Maybe I should set
the flag elsewhere?

Actually, I have made some tests. I found that in the PostgreSQL
document, Perl must be built as shared library:

But, on my i386 machine, I can build PL/Perl with static library
(libperl.a). But I can't do that on x86_64 anymore. Can somebody tell
me why, or where should I referring to?

The same issue goes to PL/Python. I'm not good at Python, but I
know that I was building static library before, and it works for
PL/Python on i386. But it does not work anymore on x86_64, too.
