Actually, the wauy is simple; adding ${CPICFLAGS} to the definition of COPTS
used in the src/gnu/lib/libgcc/Makefile.  The build system doesn't care that
they're PIC if they are going into a library named "libgcc.a".

I'll add an appropriate fix soon; however, given the type of change, it will
probably be in line for 1.5 (and not 1.4.1).
