Can't get caffe to build

I'm trying to get a custom version of caffe (the one here) working for some my experiments. When I make those changes in the required files and perform a make all in the caffe root directory, I get the following :

ubuntu@ip-172-31-18-244:~/caffe$ make all -j4 
LD -o .build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3
/usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/libhdf5_hl.a(H5LT.o): relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.text' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/libhdf5_hl.a: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:555: recipe for target '.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3' failed
make: *** [.build_release/lib/libcaffe.so.1.0.0-rc3] Error 1

Any idea why this must be happening?
I've looked at similar issues, but not sure how I can apply that in this case.

I have CUDA Version 8.0.61 and cuDNN 6.21 (on which the master branch of the same repository works perfectly).

Edit: For the various (standard caffe installation) errors that came up in the installation, I had to make the following changes: 

sudo ln -s libhdf5_serial.so.10.1.0 libhdf5.so
sudo ln -s libhdf5_serial_hl.so.10.0.2 libhdf5_hl.so

Inside the Makefile.config:

INCLUDE_DIRS := $(PYTHON_INCLUDE) /usr/local/include /usr/include/hdf5/serial/ and
LIBRARY_DIRS := $(PYTHON_LIB) /usr/local/lib /usr/lib /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/hdf5/serial/

and

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PATH=/usr/local/cuda-8.0/bin:$PATH`

Seems like an earlier build of caffe was interfering with this custom build. Re-installing everything (caffe, cuDNN) from scratch worked...
