Late in the 7.4 release we've added a patch that changed -fpic to -fPIC
for Linux Sparc. We wanted to investigate that issue further later on.
I've tried building PostgreSQL with -fpic on Sparc and saw no problems.
So I suggest that we change back to -fpic until we get detailed evidence.
Any other suggestions on how to deal with this?
