m68k is one of those targets that does not accept -fPIC across the board.
It is supported for 68020 and above, but not for 68000, 68010, or Coldfire,
where using -fPIC leads to a compiler error.  (Note that the error is flagged
by cc1 proper, so it probably wouldn't have mattered with older compilers.
It only matters now because cc1 is used to preprocess assembly code.)
The attached patch makes m68k targets use -fpic instead of -fPIC.
