Dear all,

After numerous attempts, I find that link=static somehow disables the
addition of cxxflags=-fPIC. I mean, I am able to get static libraries
built with -fPIC using,

  bjam toolset=gcc/cxxflags=-fPIC --with-serialization
--with-iostreams  --with-mpi -j6 -d+2 --prefix=/usr  install

but *not* with

  bjam toolset=gcc/cxxflags=-fPIC --with-serialization
--with-iostreams  --with-mpi -j6 -d+2 --prefix=/usr  link=static
install

Is this a bjam bug?
