Sorry for the obvious question, but did you try to recompile with -fPIC?
In order to do that, I'd have to compile all of Xorg from source, and I have no idea how to even begin a job that complex. If I'm mistaken, though, please tell me!
The distribution ships with both a dynamic libX11.so. and a static libX11.a. You're linking your shared library against the wrong one which causes this error message (.a cannot be linked in when generating an shared library) -Andi
