Thanks.  I'll review when I get a chance.

It should be up to the project.  I might create some static libs
as dependencies of a shared lib.  When linking the shared lib it
will bring in the objects from the static libs so they should have
been built with -fPIC.  If I set POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE on a
target I expect to get -fPI{C,E} no matter the target type.
