BDB on AMD64 Requires -fPIC

Hello folks

While building kdevelop on AMD64 FC2 box, it failed while linking to the BDB 
library - the linker complained and suggested to use PIC.  I manually edited 
the BDB Makefile in build_unix directory to have -fPIC on CFLAGS and CXXFLAGS 
after which the build succeeded.

I couldn't find a way/place to automatically detect arch==amd64 and then 
insert -fPIC on gcc/g++ commandline - If anyone can give a hint I will submit 
a patch.

Thanks!

Parag
