My JIT branch requires embedding GCC's code as a shared library on the
host.  To do requires building the host code as position-independent,
which unfortunately incurs a small speed hit.

Hence we need a configuration option, so that you can opt-in to
position-independent host code.

This patch adds an "--enable-host-shared" option throughout the various
configure/Make machinery for host code, adding "-fPIC" where appropriate
when enabled.

It is equivalent to the changes I currently have on my "dmalcolm/jit"
branch in git.

My first time attempt at this handled --enable-host-shared by detecting
it in each child "configure" script (as generated from configure.ac) and
conditionally appending -fPIC to makefile variables such as CFLAGS,
CXXFLAGS and LDFLAGS.

This worked when invoking "make" from each subdirectory, but not when
running "make" in the top-level directory: the top-level make would
pass in "CFLAGS=-g -O2" to the child makes, overriding their CFLAGS,
thus erroneously omitting the "-fPIC" flag.

This patch instead adds a PICFLAG variable, set up in the child
configure scripts, to contain -fPIC if configured with
--enable-host-shared.  The PICFLAG variable is then added to an
appropriate variable in each child makefile to ensure that it is used
when building host code.

This ensures that -fPIC is present if requested, when building both
from the top-level directory, and from the child directories.

There's precedent for both "PICFLAG" and "PIC_FLAG" in the source tree:
libiberty uses "PICFLAG", libbacktrace usss "PIC_FLAG".  I went with
"PICFLAG" for the new flags.

The patch uses -fPIC rather than -fpic.

Successfully bootstrapped and regtesting on x86_64-unknown-linux.

OK for trunk?

ChangeLog follows inline:
