Comment:
Not a bug. -fPIC is definitely on the agenda, though.
The reason why you can't just use -fPIC on the C files is because we post-
process the .s file generated by gcc, and the post-processor can't handle
PIC for various hard-to-fix reasons. It's likely that when we get -fPIC
working, it will not be compatible with -fvia-C.
However, -fPIC should work fine with an unregisterised build (I haven't
tried this, though).
