--- Comment #24 from Jakub Jelinek <jakub at gcc dot gnu.org> --- So perhaps for the top level something like: --- config/mh-darwin 2013-09-30 22:13:57.243907474 +0200 +++ config/mh-darwin 2015-04-08 10:36:58.100665592 +0200 @@ -1,18 +1,29 @@ # The -mdynamic-no-pic ensures that the compiler executable is built without # position-independent-code -- the usual default on Darwin.

Then GCC_PICFLAG, being a configure snippet, can surely just use normal autoconfy way.
