Bug description:
  I'm trying to build ffmpeg static and shared, i keep running into what
  appears to be a problem with things like libc not being compiled with
  -fPIC which causes me nothing but errors as I progress. One such error
  is this one:

  [ERROR] /usr/bin/ld: /home/mondain/workspace/github-infrared5/red5pro-
  cauldron/src/main/lib/amd64-Linux-gpp/libavcodec.a(hevc_cabac.o):
  relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol `ff_h264_cabac_tables' can not
  be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
