Bug#293881: /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config.a: libxf86config_pic.a was compiled without -fPic, dynamically linking against it fails

[Sebastian Kügler <lists@vizzzion.org>]

Package: xlibs-static-dev
Version: 4.3.0.dfsg.1-10
Severity: normal
File: /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config.a

The files /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config.a and /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config_pic.a
on my pure64 system are exactly the same. libxf86config_pic.a doesn't seem to
be compiled with -fPic, so we have problems linking against it.

md5sum /usr/X11R6/lib/libxf86config*.a
