Thanks for the report.

This wouldn't solve the problem when the library is being used in an
executable that is being built with -fpie.

I don't know enough about RISC-V. I thought that transforming non-PIC to PIC
code implied replacing one instruction

  lui a5,addr

with two instructions

  auipc a5,addr@got
  ld a5,0(a5)

A good idea; thanks! I'm taking this approach. Please try this tarball:
