Revision 1.48 of libexec/ld.elf_so/Makefile tried to work around
missing LIBC_PIC:

-DPADD+=	${LIBC_PIC}
+DPADD+=	${CLIBOBJ}/libc_pic.a ${LIBC_PIC}
+
+# One of these may not exist at link time, so avoid make errors.
+${DPADD}:
+	@true

I don't know if it used to work but it doesn't now (and the @true rule
looks extremely strange anyway).


Currently, a build with MKPICINSTALL=no will fail in libexec/ld.so_elf
with "don't know how to make ${LIBC_PIC}", if LIBC_PIC doesn't exist.
But if ${CLIBOBJ}/libc_pic.a doesn't exist, make considers it ok.

Experiments show that it's the .MADE: ${LIBC_PIC} rule in bsd.prog.mk
that causes make to consider non-existing ${LIBC_PIC} to be
"non-existent and no sources...", while non-existent
${CLIBOBJ}/libc_pic.a is just a "library" (cf make.c:Make_OODate)


My make(1) clue is not enough to figure what's the right way to deal
with it.  Does the following patch to libexec/ld.elf_so/Makefile looks
correct?
