Quick and dirty fix we have used in Fedora

It seems the Makefiles have support for PIC but doesn't support PIE. This means
that lookups, which are shared objects, are also compiled with PIC. But shared
objects should be compiled with PIE. It seems that gcc-5 is a bit more
restrictive about it and the build is now failing with gcc-5.

Version:
exim-4.85
