In our lab we're having a problem compiling position-independent code 
with gcc 2.5.8 and the gas in binutils 2.5.2 running on a Sun Sparc 1000 
with SunOS 5.4. 

Normally, to compile position-independent code (for dynamically
loadable library shared objects) we have been using the -fpic flag with
gcc. However, this seems to be causing gas to be called with a 
"-K PIC" argument, causing gas to error out, complaining it can't load
an object called "PIC".

Normally, we would just use as to assemble, but SunOS 5 doesn't come
with an assembler (grumble grumble)...

If anyone out there knows how to compile position-independent code
with our configuration, we'd appreciate your help. (Or, alternately,
notice that we've made a fundamental misunderstanding with respect to
dynamically loaded libraries under SunOS 5.4.)

Thanks in advance.
