Comment (by wolfgang):
I don't get it... why doesn't it make sense to support -fPIC? The library
binaries shipped with a particular binary package and the feature set of
the compiler itself are two entirely different things.
As for shipping both position dependent and position independent
libraries: I've considered that in the past, but it would require changes
to the build system and it would increase the download size for a binary
distribution by another 50 percent.
One last note: building a loadable bundle with GHC will probably lead to
trouble anyway, as the runtime system's signal handlers will probably
interfere with the host application.
