Well, yes, "pedantically" was not quite the right word. It is more of a
sweeping generalization.

If you're building them yourself, ensure they're PIC, and it will work,
but it's reasonable to expect static libraries from elsewhere to be
non-PIC, particularly things that aim to be small since PIC code is
larger.
