what Balint wanted is related to his proposed #837478 policy change,
currently policy says that static libraries should usually not contain
PIC code.
It is *not* required to recompile static libraries with -fPIC
for fixing the PIE build of binaries like gpt or sqlitebrowser.
A binNMU recompiling libantlr.a with -fPIE is sufficient.
