lua rocks is simply a build/deployment system, if the makefile of the
module choose to break the rule, then it is no fault of lua rocks.

If the module author creates a Makefile that by default create static
library and lua rocks simply make according to the Makefile. That is
the freedom of module, why add -fPIC when compile?
