commit d03bcfaa255279c7f0c0d931b3202d45faa9b8e0

    always use -fPIC on OpenBSD/AMD64 platform
    
    Summary:
    This patch switches -fPIC on for every invocation of GHC
    on OpenBSD/AMD64 platform. The reason is OpenBSD's support
    for PIE (PIC for executables) hence -fPIC is also needed
    for GHC compiled code.
    
    Fixes #10597
