Description
When building lmms 1.2.0 for Arch Linux, our package check tool namcap reports text relocations in `/usr/lib/lmms/RemoteVstPlugin.exe.so`:
```
lmms W: ELF file ('usr/lib/lmms/RemoteVstPlugin.exe.so') has text relocations.
```
Is that library build with `-fPIC`?

Research direction
Start by tracing how /usr/lib/lmms/RemoteVstPlugin.exe.so is built and whether its build configuration enables -fPIC. Reproduce the Arch Linux namcap warning and verify that the resulting library no longer has text relocations.
