It's been a while since this question was asked, but I've only just upgraded
to 14.04 myself and found the real solution.

Xastir's configure script was putting the cflags from GraphicsMagick-config
into CXXFLAGS (which we use for precisely nothing) and not into CFLAGS (which
we use for everything).

The inconsistency in flags from putting the ldflags from Magick into LDFLAGS,
but not the cflags into CFLAGS is the source of this relocation error.

I have just committed the fix.

It would probably be good to do a stable release soon.  Just sayin'.
