+This package ships non-PIC code in shared objects in the i386 variant
+
+The reason is that x264 uses a lot of hand written assembler that is not
+relocatable for performance reasons. Writing the assembler code in a way
+that is becomes relocatable is unfeasible.
+
+Upstream takes care to use non-pic code only on architectures that
+support this.
