Hello,
With GNU as PIC is not an noop, when -DPIC is used to invoke gas the
generated assembly is broken. I saw this problem with a
reautoconfiscated version of GMP. This may be unusual, but there was
libtool used to invoke gas.
While -DPIC is a noop for usual compilation, it is harmful when used
as gas flag to compile assembly, I suggest to remove it entirely when
target is cygwin. Change would be in libtool.m4 line 4971 ff in
libtool-1.5.10.
Alternative: don't pass flag through when gas is called.
