patch-ab uses -fPIC instead of -fpic for generating relocatable code.
-fpic will not work for some architectures.  See the documentation
for gcc.



     If supported for the target machine, emit position-independent
     code, suitable for dynamic linking and avoiding any limit on the
     size of the global offset table.  This option makes a difference
     on the m68k, m88k, and the Sparc.

Assuming, that there is no run-time penalty (slower access or like) onother architectures, it makes sense.
