In GMP we have assembler code (mainly i386) which understands it has
to be PIC to go in a shared library.
libtool --mode=compile --tag=CC m4-ccas $CC $CFLAGS ... foo.asm
m4-ccas is a script which passes foo.asm through m4 then assembles.
It looks for -DPIC inserted into the options by libtool and passes
that through to m4 to let foo.asm choose PIC or non-PIC instructions.
The compiler is only involved for assembling "tmp-foo.s", not
preprocessing, so what it defines for -fPIC etc doesn't help, we
really want a direct indication from libtool.
