info gcc, of course yes. -DPIC is not documented at all, and the
various pie/pic options are obscure to say the least.
The GCC 5 documentation is not online, but here is what
GCC 4.9.2 has to say:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.9.2/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html#Code-Gen-Options#index-PIC-2613
I've written compilers (two of them, from scratch) and this stuff
barely makes sense.
