That should be

CFLAGS += -fPIC

ifeq ($(DEB_HOST_ARCH), amd64)
    CFLAGS += -march=k8
    CONFFLAGS += --enable-3dnow
else
 ...

Having 12 special cases for all archs and each one adds -fPIC is
stupid. Just add it once for all archs. Remeber: It must be set on all
archs. Even if they don't (always) give a linker error.

PS: I hope you do have "DEB_HOST_ARCH = $(dpkg-architecture
-qDEB_HOST_ARCH)" in there too.
