It means this library wasn't built with -fPIC.  You can manage to add
it to a SO by using gcc -mimpure-text.

-ldl isn't available as a static library.  Note that -static has a
meaning totally unrelated to that of -shared.  You use the latter to
*create* a shared library, whereas you use the former to *link with*
static libraries.
