This can't be fixed unless someone can explain what exactly
makes code be PIC or, best of all, what is wrong with Allegro's
existing assembly code. The reason it's in a separate staticly
linked library is that I didn't know at the time (and still
don't) what makes code PIC or not PIC. If it is in fact fine,
it could be made dynamic again.
--enable-asm=no should not be linking in any non-PIC code (we always pass -fPIC to gcc
when building the shared library -- if you can find somewhere we
don't, then it needs to be fixed).
