AFAIK, libtool cannot check for the fags. -fPIC, unlike other flags,
is not something that one checks for. One needs to know how the
compiler works in order to choose the right flags, which normally go
beyond that. OTOH, I agree that it would be nice to somehow leverage
the knowledge database that these people have built with time.
