I think we should address the -fpic/-fPIC failures on the sparc.
This would affect glibc or really any shared library. IIRC, Dave had a
preliminary fix early last fall around the time we split the 1.1.x

Of course maybe this is completely unrelated to the failures I'm
seeing today. :-) For an example of the recent -fpic/-fPIC failures
(and beyond above what normally occurs) see:
