I know this is old....
Can you be more specific here about what you're trying to fix? ie, what host/target combination are you working on. What behavior are you seeing (presumably usage of -fPIC) what behavior did you expect (some other flag presumably). >From looking at picflag.m4 the thing I worry the most about is the various ix86/x86_64 clauses which specify -fpic. It looks like your change would cause us to start using -fpic rather than -fPIC as we've been doing for eons and I worry that might have unintended consequences. Thanks, Jeff >
