mips-elf-gcc 3.4.4 and 4.0.2 produce the same assembly code with -fPIC and -fno-PIC

["Weiqiang" <lwqroot at gmail dot com>]

I build my gcc(3.4.4 and 4.0.2)  mips-elf cross compile toolchain on my
cygwin and fedora core4 with the following configuration:
--prefix=/opt/mips-elf-tools --target=mips-elf --enable-languages=c,c++
--with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --with-newlib
--with-gxx-include-dir=/opt/mips-elf-tools/mips-elf/include
when tested the toolchain with following code: 

static int x;
static int w;
static const int y[]={0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9};
static int zz=10;
static  void z(void)
{
	w=x;
}
int xxx(void)
{
	x=y[6];
	z();
        zz=y[1];
} 
 
I tried both -fPIC and -fno-PIC options as follows:
mips-elf-gcc -S -fPIC test.c -o test.1.s
mips-elf-gcc -S -fno-PIC test.c -o test.2.s
but I found -fno-PIC option seem not to be working, mips-elf-gcc just
produce PIC code while given the -fno-PIC option
anybody can help me with this? many thanks
content of test.1.s and test.2.s are as follows:
