If you can let me play with it a bit tonight, I might
be able to figure out something.

At this point I believe the problem is that it will
not build on certain architectures that require the
-fPIC flag.  Because the imagekits stuff uses an older
library internally, it should be possible to review
that code to find the Makefile stanzas to be changed.

This would be easier with access to the affected
hardware.  Our developer machines often don't have
everything installed that is needed to build and test
the software.
