How about this one?

+ <code>-fpic</code> is now supported on AArch64 for small memory
+ model. Compared with <code>-fPIC</code>, <code>-fpic</code>
+ will guide GCC to generate more efficient position independent
+ instruction sequences when accessing global objects and
+ 28KiB/15KiB global offset table size supported under ILP64/32.
