I didn't claim it was anything but a kludge, as I wrote Match 1.

  My -DPIC change is of course a kludge.  Better would be to have some
  langage-specific variable similar to ac_compile, such as
  ac_lang_pic_flag.

However, I don't know enough about libtool workings to be comfortable
implementing the correct solution.
