According to the s390-Makefiles, -fpic is used. This patch removes the

is used instead to get the R_390_GOTENT relocations in gcrt1.o.


Alternatively, you could override -fpic only for gmon-start.os, to keep
a possible performance advantage for the rest.

Andreas.

As it has no effect for newer architecture levels and
for older levels the effect is overall +/-0,
I would prefer the switch to -fPIC.
