*_p are profile files.  *_pic are relocation independent files (or 
whatever that is called).  If you pass --disable-profile to configure 
script, then *_p files won't be generated.  (There were some problems 
with profiling problems on the Hurd.)  *_pic.o files are unavoidable as 
they are used to construct *.so files.
