No.  The reason we compile pic libs is so that mklibs.sh can
reduce them and relink the result into a new shared lib.  A 
shared lib that is not going to be reduced by mklibs.sh, need 
not be pic and will work just fine.  Pic code is bigger then
non-pic code, but the advantage is that we can relink it after
ripping stuff out.
