 Works for me.  I did a successful release build with this, and
 the _pic.a libraries are a reasonable size, for example:
 
   # cd /usr/lib
   # ls -al libcurses*
   -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  372206 Aug  8 14:00 libcurses.a
   lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      16 Aug  8 14:00 libcurses.so -> libcurses.so.8.2
   lrwxr-xr-x  1 root  wheel      16 Aug  8 14:00 libcurses.so.8 -> libcurses.so.8.2
   -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  196560 Aug  8 14:00 libcurses.so.8.2
   -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  400126 Aug  8 14:00 libcurses_p.a
   -r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  356246 Aug  8 14:00 libcurses_pic.a
 
 I also ran ran the ATF tests, and there were no more failures than usual.
