A static library is just a pile of object files. Of course you can
build a shared object against them. The problem is just that the
objects in this particular static library were built without PIC.
Well, yes, "pedantically" was not quite the right word. It is more of a
sweeping generalization.
If you're building them yourself, ensure they're PIC, and it will work,
but it's reasonable to expect static libraries from elsewhere to be
non-PIC, particularly things that aim to be small since PIC code is
larger.
