it was compiled with -fPIE... which i thought was a super-set of -fPIC,
but i see that the manual says otherwise.

this is the host compiler's libstdc++, building a host tool, so
that it's using it is expected..

this part might be a build bug, i'm not sure why it wouldn't be.

Thomas, can you see if you can find where this is using the .a
instead of the .so?  if it really wants a .a, try feeding it the
_pic.a instead, which should be OK.

thanks.
