Thanks for the report.  I don't quite understand why this happens - that 
error usually occurs when you try linking a non-PIC object into a shared 
library.  That shouldn't be the case here.

Regardless, changing the symbol visibility is a bit pointless for a 
static-only library build, so I've disabled that by defining NE_PRIVATE 
to 'extern' in configure for future releases.
