My main point here would be that we are already setting this for all extensions for sparc and sparc64, so s390(x) would just follow suit. -fPIC is the default in Debian now, see the discussion starting at https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/05/msg00028.html including the Fedora: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/05/msg00219.html and Ubuntu: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2016/05/msg00225.html situation, which all do that.
