Bug#837424: portaudio19: Please build libportaudio.a with -fPIC

[Balint Reczey]

Source: portaudio19
Version: 19+svn20140130-1
Severity: important
User: balint at balintreczey.hu
Usertags: pie-bindnow-20160906
Justification: makes espeakup FTBFS on amd64 with extra hardening
Affects: espeakup

Dear Maintainers,

During a rebuild of all packages in sid, espeakup failed to build on
amd64 with patched GCC and dpkg. The root cause seems to be that
libportaudio.a is shipped as a non-PIC library.

The rebuild tested if packages are ready for a transition
enabling PIE and bindnow for amd64.

For more information about the changes to sid's dpkg and GCC please
