It took a while to get answers from some claiming to be in the know but I
finally got to talk to one of these guys and he said that there is apparently
nothing you can do but using -fPIC instead of -fpic for s390 and maybe even
others. He thinks the problem simply comes from the library exceeding the size
limit for -fpic. If this holds true PostgreSQL proper may run into the same
problem eventually. 

I don't have any s390 development experience myself, so I cannot verify this
information easily, though.
