Why do we force -fPIC -DPIC anyway?
The majority of distros only seem to build shared libs with -fPIC.
Gentoo actually recommends that your do not compile application
binaries with -fPIC (except for hardened).

AFAIK there is no significant overhead to using -fPIC on x86_64 and I
can not see any disadvantages to using it, but I don't think we should
force it if we don't have to.
