"especially on the eve of a release" is why I went ahead and made the
change. I suppose according to the rules I should have reverted your
2002-03-19 change. Would that have been better?
Leaving flag_pic set broke powerpc64-linux glibc builds by causing
linuxthreads/crti.o:_init (-fpic in makefile) to have a different
stack frame to csu/crti.o:_init (-fpic had been removed by someone
who disliked the old -fpic warnings). The bogus flag_pic may well
cause more trouble than just messing up stack frames; I didn't
check for further breakage.
