-fPIC

[Sent to -mentors and -perl; I am not sure which is appropriate.]

I have been working on creating a (binary) Perl module, and have
noticed that by default, it will compile with a -fpic flag rather than
a -fPIC one.

Should I therefore append something like:

CC=gcc CCCDLFLAGS=-fPIC

to my make command in debian/rules?  If so, would it be worth noting
this in the Perl policy?  Also, I presume that the shared libraries
should then be stripped.
