Actually, in MPIR's aclocal.m4 there looks to be code to use -DPIC only when it is meaningful.
Somewhere between lines 4433 and 4463 we can probably add something. It looks like it does a test to make sure -DPIC actually works, which for some reason passes on this platform. Unfortunately, I don't know m4, so it is going to take me ages to fix this issue. I'll add it to the todo list, but if anyone comes up with a patch in the mean time, I'd be delighted. Bill.
