Compiler Option: -pic

Generate position-independent code (non-x86 Unix shared libs)

Syntax
	-pic

Description
	The -pic compiler option tells the compiler to generate 
	position-independent code. This is needed for creating shared libraries 
	on x86_64 or ARM Linux/BSD platforms except Win64 (and also not on 32bit 
	x86). This option should not be used when creating executables (as 
	opposed to shared libraries) though.

	By default, -pic is enabled when using CompilerOptdll-dll or -dylib, and disabled for 
	all other compilation modes. Usually you only have to specify -pic if 
	you are using CompilerOptc-c or CompilerOptlib-lib and want to link them into shared libraries 
	later.

	-pic is implemented by passing -fPIC to gcc (when using the -gen gcc 
	backend). The -gen gas backend does not support position-independent 
	code since it only supports 32bit x86 and there is no special 
	position-independent code needed for shared libraries on 32bit x86.
