Ok, i gave it a try, it compiles and runs fine, but i still get
the 'objdump -p libfftw3f.so | grep TEXTREL' to show up.

I could say because it is a 'must' in the debian policy, but...
Given that this error occurs only on i386, that fftw3 now works
fine on K7 and alike and that non-pic code does not seem to cause
too much problems, i could put a lintian override for now.
Upstream told me they will have that fixed in the next release.
