This will make the ld.so loader to look for a file called PIC, which might be a security issue.

The problem is that it passes -fPIC to the linker, and it does not use gcc as frontend, it uses ld directly. The problem is that -f on ld that produces a DT_AUXILIARY rather than causing any PIC code production.

I just added new version of brutefir to tree, version 1.0k and tried to make it use "gcc" as LD but failed miserabely.

Be my few minute teacher? ;-)
