Yes, you should recompile OCaml with -fPIC. I ran into the same problem a
few months ago, and noticed this bit of information in the INSTALL file:

  On a Linux x86/64 bits host, to build the run-time system in PIC mode
  (enables putting the runtime in a shared library,
   at a small performance cost):
    ./configure -cc "gcc -fPIC" -aspp "gcc -c -fPIC"
