-fpic / -pic make no difference
not on x86, on ppc it is a big difference.
i think you guys mean -fpic and -fPIC because there is no -pic flag ... while the two make a big diff on some arches like ppc, they make pretty much no different on x86 last i looked
Sorry for the confusion - by -fpic / -pic I was referring to -fpic (gcc) / -pic (ld) flags versus -fpie (gcc) / -pie (ld) flags.
Yes, this was what I was thinking(-fpic vs. -fPIC). These will probably only make a difference on RISC like arches.
There appears to be no difference (on x86) between pic, PIC, and pie. The big difference is when I drop ld's -pic and use ld's --emit-relocs instead
