Removing the compiler options

-G -Bdynamic

and replacing with

shared -Wl,-soname,libcliquer.so

solved another text relocation issue in Sage

http://trac.sagemath.org/sage_trac/ticket/9871

However, in that case, someone who did not know what they were doing
converted a executable to a shared library, so I would not put too
much weight into this.
