[Bug other/35014] Libgfortran.a (downloaded) is not PIC compiled...
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=35014 --- Comment #16 from Amir Shahmoradi --- A new optional flag could be a viable (and in my opinion, very good) solution. Unfortunately, I do not have the expertise and experience with gfortran internals to propose and implement a patch for such an option.

I doubt that would be a general agreement. If a given distribution (or use-case) needs the PIC version [and I can totally see why that would be the case for embedding it in a plugin) - then perhaps a suitable solution would be to introduce a specific configuration flag like "--enable-pic-runtimes" or "--enable-pic-libgfortran"
