OK, so I've checked into the main and 1.1 branches a change that, for SPARCv9 (sparc64) on FreeBSD, uses -fPIC.  
Regular FreeBSD appears to use -fPIC on SPARCv9 as well.  If anybody else needs it, they should report it or, even 
better, add it and send us the changes.

...and they make changes there that we'll never accept (not all shared libraries end with .so, for instance), so they 
can continue to make whatever changes they want.
