I don't think it matters whether the static library is linked with an

built by cmake should also work without you doing anything special.

Sorry Alan you are wrong here!

Since there appears to be controversy about this, it is more important than
ever to see a simple example with the details (cmake code, simple C code for
two different libraries, cmake output, and verbose make output) of what is
going wrong when you do nothing special with the -fPIC flag.

As for being wrong, that would be the first time ever...  :-)
