Building shared libraries which depend upon other libraries breaks whenever a dependency found (by something like AC_SEARCH_LIBS) was not built with -fPIC (or whatever the name of this option might be on the platform in question). And, preferably, one might want to check that the dependency is a dynamic library itself.
Are there any gnulib (or autoconf) macros available which can help here? Thinking of writing such a macro myself, it seems that the way to go would be to write test C code to build a shared library, and try building it. But this does not look as something that chains too well with the other tools (i.e. libtool would be the one needed). Best, Dima
