Description of problem:

Linking any trivial test program without -fPIC fails if you
use -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld (as used by RPM
builds).  This means absolutely everything has to be built with
-fPIC in Rawhide, which is certainly unexpected.

$ gcc test.c -lvirt
$ gcc test.c -lvirt -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ccqyK5ia.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `virConnectOpen' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/tmp/ccqyK5ia.o: error adding symbols: Bad value
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <libvirt/libvirt.h>
int
main (int argc, char *argv[])
{
  void *p = virConnectOpen;
  fprintf (stderr, "p = %p\n", p);
  exit (1);
}
