Summary:                    Shared library object files not being compiled as
position independent code
Description: 
It looks like the AIX XL module is missing:

set(CMAKE_C_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC "-qpic")
set(CMAKE_CXX_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIC "-qpic")

Which is required for compiling position independent code.

I'm not sure if CMAKE_C_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE needs to be set as well.

I believe this to be the real issue behind the bug I reported as
http://www.cmake.org/Bug/view.php?id=13997.

Example from the documentation:

To compile a shared library libmylib.so, use the following commands:
xlc mylib.c -qpic=small -c -o mylib.o
xlc -qmkshrobj mylib -o libmylib.so.1
