I'm requesting, libtool is changed to use `-fpic' instead of `-fPIC' on
all arches except sparc64. This is more efficient, and is what
bsd.lib.mk does:
.if !defined(PICFLAG)
.if ${MACHINE_ARCH} =3D=3D "sparc64"
PICFLAG=3D-fPIC
.else
PICFLAG=3D-fpic
.endif
.endif
The performance difference is slight, and is not worth chasing every
shared-library building port. But if we can improve hundreds of ports at
once by correcting libtool, we certainly should.
Yours,
-mi
