Ah yes:

.libs/foo.o:
RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
OFFSET   TYPE              VALUE 
00000019 R_386_GOTPC       _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_
0000001e R_386_PLT32       foo

foo.o:
RELOCATION RECORDS FOR [.text]:
OFFSET   TYPE              VALUE 
00000011 R_386_PC32        foo

So with -fPIC, R_386_PC32 becomes R_386_PLT32, and quoting from solaris doc
R_386_PC32  = S+A-P
R_386_PLT32 = L+A-P
where S is the value of the symbol whose index resides in the relocation
entry as opposed to L which is the section offset or address of the
procedure linkage table entry for a symbol. Hmm Maybe I understand that..
