... would generate a file ./libsasldb.a with the contents I'd expect in
that location (i.e. without PIC).

I *guess* from a quick grep on the buildlog that it is not used at
all. On second thought it couldn't be used because it is not generated
in the original rule.  ;-) The original rule is a .PHONY target,
causing regeneration of .libs/libsasldb.a. Anybody for this - a phony
target re-generating a proper ./libs/libsasldb.a?

libsasldb.a: libsasldb.la $(SASL_DB_BACKEND_STATIC)
        cd .libs && $(AR) cru $@ $(SASL_DB_BACKEND_STATIC)
