I _think_ you want "-fpic". Without any kind of -fPIC/pic, the code won't
be suitable for a shared library on many platforms.
The difference between -fPIC and -fpic is architecture-dependent, but it
basically boils down to "-fPIC always works, but -fpic is smaller and
faster by having limits that may make it unsuitable for large projects".
Sparse is definitely small enough that "-fpic" shoulf be fine.
Somebody who builds shared libraries more, please correct me/us.
