libchipmunk.so compiled without PIC, causing SELinux problems

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Try to load pymunk on SELinux system
2. See eu-findtextrel throw a fit
3. File bug Please provide any additional information below. The libchipmunk.so in the repo isn't compiled with -fPIC or -fpic, which
causes it to attempt text relocation for every single symbol. This isn't a
problem, except that SELinux absolutely hates it.

This is justified for libraries like libGL.so which need text relocs, but
chipmunk doesn't need it, so this should be changed.

Oh, thanks for the report. Will fix it before next release (hopefully this or next
week).

Already now -FPIC is added to compiler options when the lib is compiled with python
setup.py build_chipmunk, but I used the chipmunk cmake system to compile it instead..

The linux version of the bin is now copmiled with -fPIC in trunk.
