Bug#254916: pwlib: FTBFS: Shared libraries without -fPIC.

[Kurt Roeckx]

Package: pwlib
Version: 1.6.5-2
Severity: serious

When building shared libraries you should be using the -fPIC
option and static should be done without.

It's currently failing on this on atleast amd64 and hppa.

>From the log:
make[6]: Entering directory
`/home/freddy/build/pwlib/pwlib-1.6.5/plugins/sound_alsa'
mkdir -p ../pwlib/device/sound
g++  -DP_USE_PRAGMA -fno-rtti -ffunction-sections -fdata-sections
-D_REENTRANT -Wall  -DP_64BIT
-I/home/freddy/build/pwlib/pwlib-1.6.5/include \
-lasound \
-I. -shared sound_alsa.cxx -o ../pwlib/device/sound/alsa.a
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccKMnwDk.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 can not be
used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC

This looks really weird, it's using -shared for a .a file.  Using
-fPIC actually makes this build on amd64 but is not the proper
solution.  The extention should probably also be renamed to .so.

I really have no idea what the intention is here.
