When creating the shared library, the linker would complain about a
"relocation in text segment". It doesn't do so on new Linux distros
where the system compiler enables -fPIE by default (in order for
ASLR to work). It also doesn't do so on i386 (since there, for
historical reasons, relocations in the text segment are allowed;
they merely reduce the performance).
