Advice on PIC issue

[Fabian Fagerholm]

Hi!

I went through the first buildd logs of 2.1.22, and found that amd64 and
hppa have issues with non-PIC objects being linked into PIC shared libs.

See #397603 and #397605.

I believe the issue can be fixed by simply calling configure with
--with-pic. However, I don't know if this has any unwanted side-effects
since it will make the static objects position-independent for all
architectures.

Should I go ahead and use --with-pic in debian/rules?
