yeah, i got that.  my point was that historically x86's toolchain has not required static objects linked
into shared libs to have been compiled with -fPIC.  there are recent toolchain changes that do require
this though, and that these changes are becoming more widespread.

updating summary to match.  i think it's a good change, i just want to clarify the motivation.  people
have complained bitterly in the past when i've threatened to turn on -fPIC for libGL on x86, in defense
of some claimed 1% performance improvement.
