Why should -DPIC be documented? -D is documented. -DPIC means define
macro PIC to 1. There is no magic in that beyond, just a convention,
used e.g. by libtool, so that some sources can do things conditional on
whether they are compiled as position independent or not. Of course, gcc
also predefines __pic__/__PIC__/__pie__/__PIE__ macros depending on command
line options.
