Yay!  \o/


I just again want to point to <https://gcc.gnu.org/PR87833> '[9/10
Regression] Intel MIC (emulated) offloading: "relocation [...] can not be
used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC"'.

This not being fixed means that Intel MIC (emulated) offloading will be
broken in the upcoming GCC 9 release.  As in the past several months
apparently nobody but me has run into this (or didn't bother to report
it), I thus again wonder whether anyone but me is still testing Intel MIC
(emulated) offloading, and/or there's no interest anymore in keeping this
functional?

My WIP patch/work around still works (but is still as WIP as it was
before).


Grüße
 Thomas
