Is there a reason there's no version of libevent installed with PIC, or is
an oversight? I'm on an AMD64 (3.7) trying to build a Perl module which
wraps libevent and it don't work;

$ make
cp lib/Event/Lib.pm blib/lib/Event/Lib.pm
/usr/bin/perl /usr/libdata/perl5/ExtUtils/xsubpp -typemap /usr/libdata/perl5/ExtUtils/typemap -typemap typemap Lib.xs > Lib.xsc && mv Lib.xsc Lib.c
