I believe that your proposed patches to avoid non-PIC are good ones 
but have not tested in any way to ensure that some problems won't 
result.  What works great for me may fail for others.

If your patches are added to the HEAD version, then we can see how 
much grinding and nashing of teeth results without placing undue risk 
in the 2.0 release path.  If the 2.0 schedule continues to slip, then 
there is opportunity to slip in a well-tested patch.
