Also, is there any real problem with just using -fPIC?
Personally, not really, but I consider it a workaround having to
compile with -fPIC (being able to compile with -fPIC is a
feature).
Doesn't it have performance implications to use -fPIC when you
do not have to?
By the way, you also need to adjust the testsuite so that it
finds the Perl modules from freshly built tree before
installing. I think (but haven't checked yet) the stuff written
in Python does that already, so you might want to mimic it.
