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.
