Returning to this... I don't really understand this assertion. MinGW gcc 
forces PIC, and it also solves other unrelated problems, but I don't see 
how it does PIC in a better way?

It's not clear to me to what extent we want to keep non-MinGW builds 
functional at this point, but if we do at all, why introduce a 
regression? Especially when a *lot* of applications are known to depend 
on non-PIC code.
