--- Comment #2 from Britton Kerin <britton.kerin at gmail dot com> ---
In that case the bug is in the gcc documentation, which doesn't accurately
describe the circumstances in which the requirement applies.  I think many
people will make the same wrong assumption I made, because most build setups
don't perform compilation and linking in one single gcc invocation.

It's possible that the ld -shared option would benefit from a mention of -fPIC
or something but that's a different and more questionable issue.

I'm going to mark this resolved here and submit it as a gcc bug.
