Do you need LAM/MPI to be compiled as shared libraries? If so,
configure LAM with the following:

        ./configure --disable-static --enable-shared ...

Putting in whatever other flags you want/need in the "..." section.
That will compile LAM's libraries as shared, and should therefore be
compiled as position independent code.
