Okay, the R_X86_64_32 error is apparently caused because the files in 
/mailnews/extensions/enigmail/ipc/src need to be built with -fPIC, but 
they are not.  To fix this, you can add the line

FORCE_USE_PIC = 1

to the Makefile in the above directory.


Unfortunately, after fixing that, it leads me to the errors you were 
having originally:

../src/libipc_s.a(nsPipeTransport.o): In function `nsStdinWriter::Run()':
nsPipeTransport.cpp:(.text+0x8d1): undefined reference to 
`nsCOMPtr_base::begin_assignment()'
nsPipeTransport.cpp:(.text+0x9c8): undefined reference to 
`nsCOMPtr_base::~nsCOMPtr_base()'

etc., then

/usr/bin/ld: libipc.so: hidden symbol `nsCOMPtr_base::~nsCOMPtr_base()' 
isn't defined
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
