[Buildroot] [PATCH v2 1/1] package/syslog-ng: add -fPIC to build flags

[Ankur Tyagi]

Otherwise build fails with following error:

/tools/aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/../lib/gcc/aarch64-linux-gnu/8.3.0/../../../../aarch64-linux-gnu/bin/ld: lib/logthrdest/.libs/lib_libsyslog_ng_la-logthrdestdrv.o: relocation R_AARCH64_ADR_PREL_PG_HI21 against symbol `log_threaded_dest_driver_start_workers' which may bind externally can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/home/user/work/buildroot/output/build/syslog-ng-3.33.1/lib/logthrdest/logthrdestdrv.c:1151:(.text+0x1980): dangerous relocation: unsupported relocation

Makefile:10601: recipe for target 'lib/libsyslog-ng.la' failed

Changes v1 -> v2:
- Shortened error log
- Always include -fPIC flag instead of conditional inclusion
