[Bug 1319687] [NEW] SuiteSparse fails to link in shared library due to missing -fPIC in libsuitesparseconfig.a

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

You have been subscribed to a public bug by Sebastien Bacher (seb128):

The config library is only available as a .a which is not compiled with
-fPIC. Thus, linking into shared libraries fails on AMD64.

Attaching a minimal program to trigger the bug.

gcc -shared -fPIC -o test.so suitetest.cpp -lumfpack -lsuitesparseconfig
