I've tested both, and both work (as confirmed by
Jonathan).
But I suggested the sed in my mail because it does
only impact the tests compilation, and not the
installed files with -fPIC.
Adding -fPIC to CFLAGS is easier, but means that
"make" is done with -fPIC, so libraries and programs
are compiled with this option, which is perhaps not
wanted.
I don't know exactly the impacts of -fPIC (relocatable
addresses, as I can have read somewhere, but bad
impacts on performances if unneeded), so I personally
prefer to limit it to the test command only.

I'll look at it. I never give attention to it before
(only see a lot of messages some time before about the
change from Bugzilla to Trac).
Is this the recommanded place to put bugs, or the list
must also be used?
