gh-78630: Drop invalid HP aCC compiler switch -fPIC on HP-UX (#8847)

michael-o · web-flow · commit 09be18a73d81 · 2022-05-19T17:42:21.000+02:00
At compile time, '+z' is already properly used with HP aCC, and shared
libraries are correctly linked with '+b'. The '-fPIC' switch can safely be
dropped.
