AFAICT libtool used -fPIC by default for the convenience stuff (i.e.
noinst_*). I initially intended to add a knob for it, but I changed my
mind as PIC is basically harmless on x86_64 (AFAIK). In other words,
since the stuff I committed should do the right thing<tm> in every case
anyway, why would we need a setting for it?
