This test is skipped on a few arches like x86-64, hppa and s390, and I think the test shouldn't exists at all. Most arches do not support having non-pic code in a shared lib, for others pic is the default. Afaik, on linux, i386 is the only arch that actually supports non-pic code in a shared lib. Having non-pic code in a shared lib has as effect that the lib actually isn't shared by several processes, so it's a waste of memory.
Sun's Solaris supports it in some OS versions and under the right conditions. And yes, it is wasteful.
