Libs are compiled without `-fPIC` flag

[windoze]

After compilation I found generated libs were not compiled with -fPIC flag and I don't know where to add it. The problem is, without the flag, it's not possible to build SOs using any function from any lib, which is necessary for many project, i.e. LLVM. Even the toolchain itself doesn't use or generate any SO, but still we need it to support the usage. A small test:

a.c

#include <stdio.h>
void f() { printf("hello\n"); }

$ /opt/cross/bin/x86_64-linux-musl-gcc -shared a.c -o liba.so

I had the same issue. I found a solution here: http://www.openwall.com/lists/musl/2017/12/21/1

I simply added this line in my config.mak: GCC_CONFIG += --enable-default-pie
