PIC

[Barry Smith]

  Hmmm, why should you have a PIC test? Who cares if something
has PIC or not? You only thing you care about is that you CAN
do what you want to do with it? (In this case I think it is simply
that you can build an executable using a shared library PLUS the
given library you are testing.)

configure is suppose to be "can I ...?" not "is something ...?"
