This does not explain _why_ you used -fPIC in the first place.
IOW, why did you ever start using -fPIC?

We could just recommend to you not to use -fPIC in the CFLAGS
for configuring GCC.  But from the PR history it is not clear whether
you had a good reason to use it in the first place, thus it is difficult
to know what you may be working around here for.

That may well be.
