The problem is when a user (or makefile) adds this -DPIC, which does no
harm usually. Gerrit thought that it might be clever to strip it on
cygwin when gas is involved, since this does harm.
Or maybe emit a warning to fix the makefile for cygwin.
(Gerrit: Really -DPIC, not -fPIC?)

Ah! Cannot wait for that.
I couldn't find a fix for my -o <noext> => exe problem so far.
And libtool --debug is soo huge.
