WRONG.  My shared libraries, including those in xlibmesa3, are compiled
with -fPIC, and the static ones are not, as my build logs attest.  Your
test is broken.

06:45PM|<HoserHead> $ objdump --all-headers /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 | grep TEXTREL
06:45PM|<HoserHead>   TEXTREL     0x0
06:45PM|<Overfiend> HoserHead: BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT
06:46PM|<Overfiend> [0] branden@redwald:/usr/X11R6/lib % objdump --all-headers /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1 | grep TEXTREL
06:46PM|<Overfiend> [1] branden@redwald:/usr/X11R6/lib %
06:46PM|<HoserHead> Overfiend: must be an x86-only issue
06:46PM|<Overfiend> HoserHead: well, then, it's a toolchain issue, and not my bug at all.
06:47PM|<HoserHead> Overfiend: could be, yep. tell Md to investigate what's going on further

Until you can prove to me that my package is compiling shared objects in
contravention of Policy, I am not going to do anything further about
this bug.
