I have a question. Is PIC necesarry in anything but the Debian
package? If not, I don't really think it may be worth it if I
understand it right. Perhaps at least a configure option to turn it
off? But then you'd have some Allegro compilations being slower by
default, which wouldn't make sense to do.
