To build SRILM for use in shared libraries, invoke the build with

       make MAKE_PIC=X   (other arguments)

or put

    ADDITIONAL_CFLAGS += -fPIC
    ADDITIONAL_CXXFLAGS += -fPIC

in the machine-specific makefile  common/Makefile.site.$(MACHINE_TYPE) .
(-fPIC is for gcc-based compilers, other compilers have different 
options to accomplish the same thing.)
