This call is missing the -fPIC. You'd have to check the Makefile to see
why this is compiled without and correct that. On x86-64 code for a
shared library needs to be compiled as position independent code. i386
can do without (though this has serious drawbacks), which is why it's
sometimes missing.
And that's the problem  I've tried running "perl Makefile.pl -fPIC" on both 
the main makefile and the subfile for RTjpeg and a line with
CCCDLFLAGS = -fPIC
appears in the RTjpeg makefile, but when I run it I still get the exact same 
error.

Should I be  using -fPIC someplace else?  

I can email the relevant makefile, if that would help.

Thanks
