This comment from opcodes/configure.in is relevant # When building a shared libopcodes, link against the pic version of libiberty # so that apps that use libopcodes won't need libiberty just to satisfy any # libopcodes references. # We can't do that if a pic libiberty is unavailable since including non-pic # code would insert text relocations into libopcodes. -- Alan Modra Australia Development Lab, IBM
