In general, this statement is false. The Solaris (>=2.5) linker _does_
allow non-PIC code in shared libraries. It may refuse to link in objects
from a static archive (I don't know if this is true or not), but if it
didn't, I suspect it wouldn't matter if the static archive contained PIC
or non-PIC code. I know that have seen non-PIC objects linked into a
shared library by the Solaris linker.
