Agreed, both objects are PIC (default on Tru64).

The main concern was that now 2 separate objects are created (one with
`-DPIC' and the other without) :

/bin/ksh ./libtool --mode=compile cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H  -I. -I. -I.      -g -c -o ltdl.lo ltdl.c
mkdir .libs
 cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -c ltdl.c  -DPIC -o .libs/ltdl.o
 cc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -g -c ltdl.c -o ltdl.o >/dev/null 2>&1
