Subject: [PATCH] iproute2: use -fPIC in lib/

From: Andreas Henriksson <[email-masked]>

The static libnetlink.a library is exposed to other users in Debian via the
"iproute-dev" package. Apparently people are interested in using it in their
shared libraries and would like to see the code be position independent.

Patch below makes the code under lib/ build with -fPIC.

See http://bugs.debian.org/547602
