Well, you participated in the relevant discussion in 2009... It's a matter of fact that not all tools support PIC, so just. For people interested in this topic, please read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binary_Runtime_Environment_for_Wireless https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Position-independent_code http://lists.nongnu.org/archive/html/freetype-devel/2009-01/msg00056.html Reading the old stuff, I think that `FT_CONFIG_OPTION_PIC' *is* the correct naming. I've updated the docs to not talk about `PIC' but `FT_CONFIG_OPTION_PIC' to avoid confusion.
