+-- Note [-fPIC for assembler]
+-- When compiling .c source file GHC's driver pipeline basically
+-- does the following two things:
+--   1. ${CC}              -S 'PIC_CFLAGS' source.c
+--   2. ${CC} -x assembler -c 'PIC_CFLAGS' source.S
+--
+-- Why do we need to pass 'PIC_CFLAGS' both to C compiler and assembler?
+-- Because on some architectures (at least sparc32) assembler also choses
+-- relocation type!
+-- Consider the following C module:
+--
+--     /* pic-sample.c */
+--     int v;
+--     void set_v (int n) { v = n; }
+--     int  get_v (void)  { return v; }
+--
+--     $ gcc -S -fPIC pic-sample.c
+--     $ gcc -c       pic-sample.s -o pic-sample.no-pic.o # incorrect binary
+--     $ gcc -c -fPIC pic-sample.s -o pic-sample.pic.o    # correct binary
+--
+--     $ objdump -r -d pic-sample.pic.o    > pic-sample.pic.o.od
+--     $ objdump -r -d pic-sample.no-pic.o > pic-sample.no-pic.o.od
+--     $ diff -u pic-sample.pic.o.od pic-sample.no-pic.o.od
+--
+-- Most of architectures won't show any difference in this test, but on sparc32
+-- the following assembly snippet:
+--
+--    sethi   %hi(_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-8), %l7
+--
+-- generates two kinds or relocations, only 'R_SPARC_PC22' is correct:
+--
+--       3c:  2f 00 00 00     sethi  %hi(0), %l7
+--    -                       3c: R_SPARC_PC22        _GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_-0x8
