Uhm, you're right.  But then it's been dead code for a while.  The 
toplevel hasn't set PICFLAG since the Autoconfiscation, and hasn't 
passed PICFLAG to the subdirectories except between this patch:

2004-12-08  David Edelsohn  <edelsohn@gnu.org>

         * Makefile.def (flags_to_pass): Add PICFLAG_FOR_TARGET.
         * Makefile.tpl (EXTRA_HOST_FLAGS): Add PICFLAG.
         (EXTRA_TARGET_FLAGS): Add PICFLAG.
         * Makefile.in: Regenerate.

and this patch:

2004-12-25  David Edelsohn  <edelsohn@gnu.org>

         Revert 2004-12-08 Makefile changes.
