openpam detects static modules build using cpp(1) condition:
#if defined(__GNUC__) && !defined(__PIC__) && !defined(NO_STATIC_MODULES)
The problem is that gcc MIPS option -mabi-calls assumes -fpic for both
static and dynamic builds. So the question is: would defining
NO_STATIC_MODULES for MIPS be enough or it should be addressed
upstream?

PS NetBSD stumbled upon it too:
