The shared version of a library must be compiled with `-fPIC', and the
static version must not be. In other words, each source unit (`*.c',
for example, for C files) will need to be compiled twice.
Also http://release.debian.org/sarge_rc_policy.txt says:
(f) Libraries
Shared libraries must be compiled with -fPIC, and normally static
libraries must not be. If you need to provide static libraries
compiled with -fPIC, call it "<libname>_pic.a".
What I *think* is the proper solution to fix this problem is to
have symbol versioning in glib and then link to the shared
version again.
See bugs.debian.org/264400 for a wishlist bug asking that.
I think you really should talk to the glib maintainer.
