Ok - thanks - this is a convincing point!  I agree :-)

If you can produce a patch yourself implementing this fix (should be quite
easy, just look into core/make/target.make, and fix the flags used for
hppa) you've got my approvation that it should go in.

I'm leaving for holidays (two weeks) tomorrow, so I might not be here when
the patch comes in, but from building bundles with -fPIC on hppa of course
looks right - someone else will apply it :-)
