I squashed this to unbreak static compilation, but Peter reported that
module linking fails on ARM host:
  LINK  block/curl.so
/usr/bin/ld: block/curl.o: relocation R_ARM_THM_MOVW_ABS_NC against
`__stack_chk_guard' can not be used when making a shared object;
recompile with -fPIC
block/curl.o: could not read symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Is the above ok?
