Octave 3.03 build Problems

I'm getting the following linker error building either Octave 3.0.3 or 
3.1.53 on RHEL5:

/usr/bin/ld: /opt/UMFPACK/Lib/libumfpack.a(umfpack_di_defaults.o): 
relocation R_X86_64_32 against `a local symbol' can not be used when 
making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/opt/UMFPACK/Lib/libumfpack.a: could not read symbols: Bad value

I tried compiling SuiteSpare and Octave with -fPIC, but it didn't help.  
gcc is version 4.1.2-44

[root at localhost SuiteSparse]# gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 20080704 (Red Hat 4.1.2-44)

Here's the config line to Octave:
