I reviewed the gentoo policy. They explicitly and strictly avoid compiling object files for static libraries with -fPIC.

As I don't want to a) get into flame war with gentoo people; nor b) compile gsl manually, I guess, at least for now, the best option is to have a configuration option --enable-gsl-shared to use shared libs for gsl.
