Well, I think it's my own fault... modifying my CFLAGS resolved the
problem.

I was using "-fast -mcpu=7450 -pipe" in my CFLAGS.

"-fast" enables "-mdynamic-no-pic", but you need to add "-fPIC" to
build dylibs.

So CFLAGS should either be

CFLAGS="-Os -mtune=7450 -pipe"

or aggressive optimization would be

CFLAGS="-fast -mtune=7450 -pipe -fPIC"
