-fPIC is usually used when building a shared object, so it should not be
relevant as you are linking statically to the library.

However, I had the same problem as you lately and it had not _anything_
to do with fPIC whatsoever.
It was because i was compiling with gcc 3.4.5 and the flag
-fvisibility=hidden and -fvisibility-inlines-hidden. Those 2 flags are
correctly implemented from gcc 4.1 onwards i think.

Maybe this helped,
