Right now, to profile, you have to link static.  But by default, we
link dynamic.  This means that profiles are distorted for the case
where something actually really has different performance characteristics
if compiled PIC.

Given that, I think the simplest thing to do (which also won't bloat up
the comp set) is to just always build the _p library PIC.
