The fix is to make the package compile with -fPIC instead of -fpic - that
is, incidentally, the way all PIC-library packages should be compiled.
Again, GNU binutils ld can cope with it, but by adding a bunch of extra
indirection and code (which slows things down).  This package should compile
with -fPIC, not -fpic, on _all_ platforms.
