Bruno Haible the author of ffcall, prefers it not to be compiled shared.
His arguments are:
1) It is overkill: libavcall, libvacall, libcallback have less than 1 KB
of executable code (most of the real code is in the header files):
2) The main function here is compiled from non-PIC assembly language.
I.e. relocations would remain. The GNU linker supports shared libraries with
relocations on x86 systems. But only on x86!
