Well.. for opcode is it hardcoded.
So all platforms that can build opcode using autoconf can handle
the flag:

if OPCODE
noinst_LIBRARIES+= libOPCODE.a
libOPCODE_a_CPPFLAGS= -O2 -fno-strict-aliasing -fPIC

if X86_64_SYSTEM
libOPCODE_a_CPPFLAGS += -fPIC
endif

Note: the latter section makes no sense.

- made the -fPIC compilation flag only active on X86_64_SYSTEM

My guess is that the guard can be dropped, or reversed
to 'if not win32' or something.

Maybe tfautre has some additional insights?
