Right, but most libs compile with PIC flags when needed. I could see
this being a problem 5 years ago, but most libs account for x86_64
these days. I have only run into 4 spells (technically 3 since lua has
2 spells), that have required a patch to fix PIC related issues.
Granted, I haven't tried every spell.

Generally, the issues are with cross-platform libs or libs that
haven't been updated in a number of years. Debian or gentoo has
patches for most of the libs that need them anyway.
