Comment:
So, we had a lengthy discussion on GStreamer's IRC channel to clarify
*what* breaks.

It seems usage of shared libs with non-PIC code is impossible under
x86_64, and hence the linker refuses to output .so's for x86_64 with
code from a non-PIC .a.

I've reported this against Debian's check so that the maintainer either
provides a shared lib, or builds with -fPIC, but if it affects all
static libs for x86_64, we should fix Debian policy.
