But in that case not just for x86_64, but for all architectures.
If the library is small and is expected to be only linked into small shared
libraries, -fpic can be used instead.
What small means is architecture dependent, on i386/x86_64 -fpic/-fPIC are
identical, on other arches it can mean e.g. 4K got entries limit or similar.

But I don't know what shared libraries it will be link to, so shouldn't I use -fPIC to be safe? Or are there other drawbacks?
