I've merged all three, and (as expected) found a couple of
inconsistencies.

* The general approach between libtool and libiberty differs.  Unless
  otherwise specified (PIC is the default or doesn't work for some
  reason), libtool defaults to -fPIC, while libiberty has a strange
  mixture of -fPIC/-fpic and nothing, without explanation and without a
  default.

* git libtool.m4 uses -fno-common on *-*-darwin.  No idea if this is
  required.

* For QNX, it uses -fPIC -shared, which may no longer be necessary and
  is claimed as a g++ workaround.

* For IA64 HP-UX, there's a claim that -fPIC is necessary despite PIC
  code being the default.  I could find no hint in trunk that this is
  true any longer.

* On a few targets (called out in config/picflag.m4), -fpic and -fPIC
  differ.  While libtool always uses -fPIC, libiberty/configure.ac
  preferred -fpic in a few cases.  No idea why.

* For sh*-*-linux* and sh*-*-netbsd*, -fpic is used in
  HOST_LIBGCC2_CFLAGS.  Again, no explanation.  Perhaps this
  could/should be done as a local override in libgcc instead?

* For SPARC, libiberty/configure.ac has

        case "${CFLAGS}" in
            *-fpic*)
                PICFLAG=-fpic
                ;;
            *)
                PICFLAG=-fPIC
                ;;
        esac ;;

  Why is this SPARC-specific?

* There are two platforms that specify -fpic where this doesn't make a
  difference from -fPIC: arm*-*-netbsdelf* and bfin*-elf*,
  bfin*-uclinux*, bfin*-linux-uclibc*.  I've omitted that setting.

The only trace I could find is in a install.texi reference to historical
practice.

The patch below has been tested as the previous submissions.

2011-07-31  Rainer Orth  <r...@cebitec.uni-bielefeld.de>

        config:
        * picflag.m4: New file.

        gcc/ada:
        * gcc-interface/Makefile.in (GNATLIBCFLAGS_FOR_C): Replace
        TARGET_LIBGCC2_CFLAGS by PICFLAG.
        (gnatlib-shared-default, gnatlib-shared-dual-win32,
        gnatlib-shared-win32, gnatlib-shared-darwin, gnatlib-shared,
        gnatlib-sjlj, gnatlib-zcx): Likewise.

        libada:
        * configure.ac: Include ../config/picflag.m4.
        (GCC_PICFLAG): Call it.
        Substitute.
        * configure: Regenerate.
        * Makefile.in (TARGET_LIBGCC2_CFLAGS): Replace by PICFLAG.
        (GNATLIBCFLAGS_FOR_C): Replace TARGET_LIBGCC2_CFLAGS by PICFLAG.
        (LIBADA_FLAGS_TO_PASS): Likewise.
        Don't include $(GCC_DIR)/libgcc.mvars.

        libiberty:
        * aclocal.m4: Include ../config/picflag.m4.
        * configure.ac (GCC_PICFLAG): Call it.
        (enable_shared): Clear PICFLAG unless shared.
