...which I realise doesn't explain why the -fno-pic is there at all.
The point was that, after deciding to do the test this way, we might as
well handle targets that are PIC by default and that allow non-PIC code
to be generated by -fno-pic. (Which mas probably the motivating reason
in the first place.)
