Does anyone know if there was a reason for the usb bus_manager always 
getting -fno-pic? I'm not seeing any



Still need info on this as well if anyone has it.


This flag was probably used on BeOS R5. It appeared in r222 (
http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku?view=revision&revision=222 ) for
R5 kernel add-ons and appeared on r7620 (
http://svn.berlios.de/viewcvs/haiku?view=revision&revision=7620 ) for
Haiku kernel add-ons.
Hmm.. i wonder is calling -fno-pic only on gcc2 builds would be a good compromise?
That way the older gcc2 code would keep better BeOS compat, while the newer gcc4 
code (that runs on multiple platforms) could use -fPIC (or -fPIE?)
