Quoting policy:
As to the static libraries, the common case is not to have relocatable
code, since there is no benefit, unless in specific cases; therefore
the static version must not be compiled with the `-fPIC' flag. Any
exception to this rule should be discussed on the mailing list
[EMAIL PROTECTED], and the reasons for compiling with
the `-fPIC' flag must be recorded in the file `README.Debian'. [3]
If you need a libmysqld which can be used by shared objects, then please
add libmysqld_pic.a in addition to the non-PIC version.
Cheers,
Julien
