Meanwhile, I got sage compiled by changing the configure line in spkg-
install of mpfi-1.3.4-rc3.p9 to
./configure --prefix="$SAGE_LOCAL" --with-mpfr-dir="$SAGE_LOCAL"
CFLAGS="-fPIC"

Ok, at

​http://sage.math.washington.edu/home/mabshoff/mpfi-1.3.4-rc3.p10.spkg

you can find an spkg that includes this fix.
