That cannot be the root cause. Debian Policy [1] is to build static
libs without -fPIC
10.2 Libraries
[...] As to the static libraries, the common case is not to have
relocatable code, since there is no benefit, unless in specific
cases; therefore the static version must not be compiled with the
-fPIC flag. Any exception to this rule should be discussed on the
mailing list debian-de...@lists.debian.org, and the reasons for
compiling with the -fPIC flag must be recorded in the file
README.Debian.
