-fPIC and -DPIC flags are automatically added by autotools (libtool in
this case). And I belive mixing PIC and non-PIC code will not work. For
example Debian submitted a bug in gnokii (this is a software we are
talking about) on non x86 archs when we didn't add PIC compilation tags
and we did not use libtool (which does the work at the moment).

This is more or less Slackware Linux 10.0. But I belive this is on most
Linux environments. I'm not sure at the moment about cygwin.
take care,
