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.
