[qca-ssdk-shell] Fails to Build on IPQ807x: Relocation Requires -fPIC

[isevewel]

Issue Description

Hi.
I’m building OpenWrt for the IPQ807x platform and encountered a build failure in the qca-ssdk-shell package. The build error appears related to relocations that are invalid in shared objects unless compiled with -fPIC.
