I see from the build log [1] that the build policy for .a had changed... I think
that is for good. Relocatable code makes object a bit bigger, but on current
systems that does not matter at all. Briefly:

1. One solution would be to make .a code reallocatable, so that .so library
that refers libocrad.a can compile.

2. Another solution is to provide libocrad.so within libocrad package.
