Actually, it complains about /usr/lib/libvpopmail.a, which is a static lib (from libvpopmail-dev?) Static libs should be build without -fPIC, and you'll either need a shared lib to link too, which really is what you should do, or ask for a special pic version of the static lib, which I do not recommend at all.
