Yes, you should be able to link a shared library to a static library
compiled as PIC even on 64-bit. Hence the "recompile with -fPIC"
message from the linker :)

Probably fine if it's part of the same build process, maybe not so much
if it's from another package. If it is, on Lignux at least, plugins
depending on shared libraries isn't really a big deal anyway.
