It shouldn't, and I believe it doesn't. Static libraries should be built without -pic, and shared with. Of course static libraries with pic do work, but it is a suboptimal solution. (Unless you want to include said static library into a shared library). Just see a static library as nothing more or less than a system archive of object files that applications can include.
