When exactly is this a problem? I haven't ran into it, yet.
I'm using the boot method right now for a ppc64-64 build.

static libs shouldn't get -fPIC. Just the shared libs.
Is there something different in your build? I've never ran across an issue
where something was attempting to build with the bzip2 shared libs and
attempt to link against the static lib instead.

I notice that. I'll fix it in a bit.

During install, the pkgconfig file ends up being put in /lib/pkgconfig/.
We override the installation directory. It's that or edit the Makefile.
