   Well, on some platforms you might get better performance from
non-pic code, though it would make sense to run some tests to see
what the difference is. On the other hand, the AIX ABI convention
says that _all_ code is compiled pic, so it makes no difference at
all. There isn't even a difference in the flags when compiling the
static and dynamic versions as it is, so simply making a copy of or
using the original would be much preferred.
