I don't explicitly use --disable-shared and I let the value be default.

Also libobjc builds correctly in that it does not use -fPIC.


checking whether the linker
(/home/apinski/src/local/gcc/objdir-spu/./gcc/collect-ld) supports
shared libraries... no

Hmm, we get:
/bin/sh ../libtool --tag CXX --tag disable-shared --mode=compile
/home/apinski/src/local/gcc/objdir-spu/./gcc/xgcc -shared-libgcc
-B/home/apinski/src/local/gcc/objdir-spu/./gcc -nostdinc++

/home/apinski/src/local/gcc/libstdc++-v3/libsupc++/array_type_info.cc

Notice -prefer-pic which we did not get before this patch.

PIC is supported by spu-elf but not in all cases and the runtime
relocations is one case where it is not supported.

Also reading,
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2001-05/msg00202.html

Which is the orginal patch which made the test for -prefer-pic.
