This is not actually correct.  For gcc, the presence or abscense of
-fpic on the command line *does* change the symbol resoution rules
used inside the compiler.  It is already the case that shared libraries
must be compiled with -fpic or you'll get link errors of the form

  file.o: @gprel relocation against dynamic symbol foo

Thus, from my point of view, your -fminshared is exactly the same as
-fvisibility=protected and without -fpic.
