Thanks for this information: that's exactly the kind of comment I wanted to
get with my remarks above.

I had no intention to remove that .stabs field: as I said, -K PIC still
isn't passed to the native as on Solaris 2/Intel.  In most cases, it
doesn't seem to make any difference anyway, but I'll probably fire off
another bootstrap to check for cases where it does.
