Why should -DPIC be documented? -D is documented. -DPIC means define macro PIC to 1. There is no magic in that beyond, just a convention, used e.g. by libtool, so that some sources can do things conditional on whether they are compiled as position independent or not. Of course, gcc also predefines __pic__/__PIC__/__pie__/__PIE__ macros depending on command line options.
