I thought:
libtool --mode=compile -prefer-pic/-prefer-non-pic

would do the trick?

This'll at least work for the compile stage, does this get you into
trouble at the link stage?

At the very least, I think you can add -prefer-non-pic to your compile
flags, and -static to your link flags while developing, and only do
the static thing.

Hope this helps,
