+Subject: [PATCH] tests/unit: fix object files' location
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Referring to *.o files under a .libs/ directory is not recommended
+because this belongs to libtool's innards.
+
+Indeed, libtool decides to place the *.o files in an
+implementation-specific location:
+- PIC *.o files go into a .libs/ directory;
+- non-PIC *.o files are generated along side to their corresponding
+ source files.
+
+Using PIC objects to build executable is legit, thought it may
+introduce some minor overhead at runtime.
+
+However, hard-coding these PIC object files in the Makefile.am to build
+executables breaks the build in case of static only build.
+
+In this case, no PIC object files is generated, so the linker will not
+found some of the needed objects files.
+
+Changing these dependencies' path fixes the static build, keeping the
+shared one ok, though the non-PIC object files are now always built.
+
+Fixes #983.
+
+Fix tested on git master and v2.6 with no change needed.
