[PATCH] Be sure to use -fPIC not -fpic on Linux/SPARC

hints/linux.sh was not properly identifying SPARC systems, and hence was
letting Configure fall back on -fpic.  For SPARC, however, -fPIC is needed
for at least some extensions with at least some set of flags.  (I have not
exhaustively tested permutations.)

This rather conservative patch fixes the problem.  I'll make a better
patch for the appropriate metaconfig unit sometime in the future.
