What happens when this is done? Can it ever work? How about the reverse, where you link in PIC compiled libraries into static (.a) libraries? Does this work? Assuming it works (in either case) are there any performance hits/advantages to either? My impression from past discussions is that you can't use non-PIC code in shared libraries (it won't work), and that you can use PIC code in static libraries, but you take a performance hit for it...
