is -fPIC safe for executable programs, or must -fPIE be used?

[Britton Kerin <britton.kerin@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can't tell from the manual if -fPIC is safe for executable programs,
or only for libraries.

I want to use -fPIC or -fPIE so dladdr() will work right.  I would
rather use -fPIC if possible, because it seems simpler to use one such
option for everything if possible.

Thanks,
Britton
