I think Nick's patch is wrong.  :-(  We don't ever build a shared libiberty, and
libiberty.a usually contains non-pic objects.  So linking libiberty.a against
libopcodes.so will (depending on target) produce a libopcodes.so with text
relocations.

The way this used to work a very long time ago (binutils-2.8) was that
libiberty/pic/*.o were pulled in directly when building libopcodes.so or the
combined bfd and opcodes libbfd.so.  Note that this provided the entirety of
libiberty in libopcodes.so or libbfd.so, satisfying all of the binutils apps
references to libiberty functions.  I don't know why we lost this feature, or
how much work it would take to fix.
