Or, what's the gcc equivalent of the cc -pic option for use with
compiling modules for subsequent linking into a SunOS 4.11 shared library?

Please answer from actual experience, thank you.

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.
