> Does it make sense to always build with PIC?
It is possible to build executables with PIC and shared libraries without 
PIC, it is not customary and induces performance penalties.

See http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/hardened/pic-internals.xml for a more 
detailed explanation on PIC/nonPIC issues

Moreover, there are already packages building both PIC and non-PIC static 
libraries (see xlibs-static-pic for instance)

Thanks, 
Sylvain
