Wait a moment, what if I don't want to use the assembly code at all?
Then IMO I should not worry about non-PIC code, but according to lintian
checks there is some non-PIC-code in the created library.

Okay, I will just try:
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=${prefix}/share/man --infodir=${prefix}/share/info  --enable-ggi=no --enable-alsamidi=no--enable-alsadigi=no  --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-linux=no --enable-pentiumopts=no --enable-asm=no --enable-dga=no --enable-dga2=no

make-log is attached.

objdump --headers --private-headers -T lib/unix/liballeg-3.9.37.so |grep rel.text
  5 .rel.text     00000c08  00010770  00010770  00010770  2**2
00010770 l    d  .rel.text      00000000              

According to Debian's lintian check this is a clear sign for non-PIC code.

As far as I can see, there is allways -fPIC passed to gcc, but the check
finds non-PIC code though.
