position indenpendent code

[Per-Ola Andersson]

Hi,

can anyone please tell me exactly what position independent code means, or 
tell me I can find a good source of information? man gcc just states that if 
the -fpic is used the gcc generates position independent code, suitable for 
use int shared libs.

Thnx
// POA
