Putting non-PIC code into a shared library will not work, indeed.

Btw, I see that in gnokii-0.6.3 you use AM_GNU_GETTEXT([use-libtool]).
This is not supported any more. The only two supported configurations
are:
  - no-libtool: built libintl.a so that you can link your executables with it
    (but don't put the code into your shared libraries),
  - external: link against an external libintl shared library.
