Answer

setup.py is trying to create shared library build/lib.linux-x86_64-2.7/_pjsua.so by dynamically linking pjsip’s libraries, but, those doesn’t provide a global offsets table(GOT) (check the link to see why this is needed).

The problem is that ./configure does not provide gcc’s -fPIC option, I would suggest creating a configure-linux script like:

#!/bin/sh
#
export CFLAGS="$CFLAGS -fPIC"

./configure
