Where did you add it?

To the command-line or Makefile?

And which Make variable did you change?

I've tried

     make -f posix.mak MODEL_FLAG="-fPIC"

but C++ compilations still fail with complaining about 
libphobos2.a not being compiled with -fPIC flag.

-defaultlib is a DMD flag so that has not effect with the C++ 
compilations.

This must be fixed in the DMD Makefiles!

I you only tell me what to do I can make a PR to DMD that fixes 
these things.
