Describe the bug, including details regarding any error messages, version, and platform.
The simdjson package in Alpine Linux has a problem in its CMake package: https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/-/work_items/18353
We can use libsimdjson.a but can't use libsimdjson.so.
We can use libsimdjson.a but we can't use it with our .so because libsimdjson.a isn't built with -fPIC:
