The default CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, and FFLAGS include -O options teling the
comilers to do optimization.  If you set them to -fPIC, then I think
you are turning optimization off.  Are you sure you want that?
Doesn't the configure script use -fPIC automatically on your system?
I think it should.  If it doesn't, what is the output of running
config.guess on your system?
