From the man page (and actual experience with SunOS 4.1.1):

     -fpic
          If  supported  for  the   target   machines,   generate
          position-independent code, suitable for use in a shared
          library.

     -fPIC
          If supported for the  target  machine,  emit  position-
          independent code, suitable for dynamic linking, even if
          branches need large displacements.
