Yes, but my point was that a bum libc would hose the whole system. The only
worry is to make cleandir in lib and gnu/lib (and usr.sbin/amd and
gnu/usr.bin/egcs/common if necessary) to purge all old -fpic objs so they
won't try to link with -fPIC objs.

"No change" beyond binary format - why bother?  :>  Even if something's
linked against a -fPIC object, it can go back to -fpic interchangeably.
