[Bug 1598755] [NEW] can not link liblz4.a to shared objects

[thowie]

Public bug reported:

On amd64, linking liblz4.a from package liblz4-dev_0.0~r131-2ubuntu2 to a shared object fails, because the archive does not contain relocatable code. Thus, it is not possible to build a library that uses statically linked liblz4.
Adding -fPIC to CPPFLAGS solves the problem.
