Are you sure it's the same for e.g. hardened gentoo?

Well, maybe I'm just imagining things. Still, why would adding a special
case for Zeta be a better solution than moving -fPIC at the end? Esp.
since no-PIC _is_ a MPlayer requirement, unless things have much changed
it will not compile with -fPIC, why is depending on gcc defaults that
are completely outside our control the "cleaner" solution?
