So, one difference between the driver you built and the driver in
factory:

http://download.opensuse.org/pub/opensuse/factory/repo/oss/suse/i586/xf86-video-intel-2.20.0-1.1.i586.rpm

Is that yours has this, and theirs doesn't:

hate:~% eu-readelf -a intel_drv.so | grep TEXTREL
  TEXTREL           
  FLAGS             TEXTREL

This suggests that you managed to build the X driver without -fPIC, and
eu-findtextrel(1) agrees.  This would cause the problem if text
relocations are also not lazy, and I believe that to be the case. [1]
To verify this assumption you could just jam -fPIC into CFLAGS and see
if the result works, but that's just papering over the bug, not
necessarily a fix.

I have no idea _how_ you managed to build it that way though.  I would
start by inspecting config.log and libtool from the build tree, or by
pointing $CC at real local gcc instead of icecream.

[1] - This, I think, is more artifact of implementation rather than
something done of necessity, but since textrels in DSOs are an i686ism
as far as Linux is concerned - and generally frowned upon even there -
it would be a lot of typing for little benefit.
