-fPIC for a port that is just a library on amd64?

[Larry Rosenman]

What's the best way to get a port to add -fPIC to the compile for a port
that
generates just an archive library (textproc/libxdiff)?

I was able to force the issue with CFLAGS=-fPIC make;CFLAGS=-fpic make
install, 
but it would be nice if the port could do it automagically.

The issue is that the pecl-xdiff extension uses this library and wants to be
a shared object. 

Thanks,
LER
