To compile kdepim for kde 4 on x86_64, libassuan needs to be compiled with -fPIC.
I don't know of anything that breaks if libassuan is compiled with it.
This task depends upon

Why does it "need" to be compiled like that?
Comment by Martin Sandsmark (sandsmark) - Monday, 26 May 2008, 11:37 GMT
Because otherwise the linking of the kdepim libraries fail.

Only for x86_64 arch.

So something like:
[ "$CARCH" = "x86_64" ] && export CFLAGS="$CLFAGS -fPIC"
at the beginning of build() will be fine (like in many other packages - for example core/dmapi or core/pcre)

Without libassuan compiled with -fPIC kdepim4 fails to compile.

Fixed in libassuan-1.0.4-2, see http://repos.archlinux.org/viewvc.cgi/libassuan/repos/extra-x86_64/PKGBUILD?r1=356&r2=2219
