Title:
  SuiteSparse fails to link in shared library due to missing -fPIC in
  libsuitesparseconfig.a

Status in “suitesparse” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The config library is only available as a .a which is not compiled
  with -fPIC. Thus, linking into shared libraries fails on AMD64.

  Attaching a minimal program to trigger the bug.

  gcc -shared -fPIC -o test.so suitetest.cpp -lumfpack
  -lsuitesparseconfig
