Thanks people; I understand (now) that libtool supports many targets, each with
their own compilers. I guess that means the question becomes, why set -DPIC on
targets that use gcc, where that compiler defines __PIC__ if it's generating
PIC code (at least since gcc 2.8.1 to my knowledge - I don'
Apologies if this is a stupid question, but please could someone explain to me
why libtool sets '-DPIC' for shared libraries, while gcc reliably defines
'__PIC__' when it generates PIC code? Setting '-DPIC' encourages people to do
'#ifdef PIC' when surely '#ifdef __PIC__' would be more reliable
