Comment (by rcurtin):

 Option 1 from above runs into other problems.  On 64-bit systems, a static
 library which is going to be compiled into a shared library must use
 -fPIC.  That's not a big problem to force CMake to do that when
 recompiling MLPACK, but the other libraries MLPACK depends on are not, in
 general, compiled statically or when they are, not with -fPIC.  So I'm
 starting to run out of tricks here.  We can't compile a mex as a static
 library, either.  It looks like Option 2 is going to be our best bet.
