That's correct.  sparc cannot mix -fPIC and -fpic /in the same shared
object/, but it should be perfectly able to handle using a -fPIC-compiled
library with a binary linked against a -fpic library.  It's the relocations
used inside the library itself that matter.  Otherwise, losing your
toolchain wouldn't be the problem - compatibility with old binaries (and
losing your whole libc) would.
