10.2. Libraries
---------------
The shared version of a library must be compiled with `-fPIC', and the
static version must not be. In other words, each source unit (`*.c',
for example, for C files) will need to be compiled twice.
hrm, but yeah of course, one could say that it's fine if a
library compiled with -fPIC still contains non position
independant code. :)
