On mips, -fpic (or -fPIC) is not specified even for shared libs
because it's default if TARGET_ABICALLS?

      flag_pic = 1;
      if (mips_section_threshold > 0)
        warning (0, "-G is incompatible with PIC code which is the default");

Because mips can have non-pic code which has incompatible ABI?
