gcc 1.40 can not (I think) generate pic (position
independent code) on Sun sparc systems. [shared
libraries need to be pic code in order for sharing
to truly occur].

Does anyone know if the new version of gcc will
support pic ? 

And if so, could some one point me at a place where 
I can get it, or let me know when it will be released ?

Many thanks in advance.
