Actually it could be argued that winegcc should add -fPIC itself if it's needed for linking, users shouldn't have to worry about that.
Absolutely, the user shouldn't need to provide anything. It would be silly to have some internal winegcc computation/compilation fail because the user did not provide some flags.
In fact, I also had in mind the same thing, but I forgot the patch did not do that. As I was saying, I think we can just always provide it during link, gcc should be able to deal with it on all platforms.
