The tests rely on accessing static data from inline assembler. Accessing 
static data with -fPIC requires special code to be generated, but with 
inline assembler you have to add that code in manually. The compiler 
won't do it automatically - after all, inline assembler means you 
control the flame!

So I don't believe it's a compiler bug.

You can alter the inline assembler to pick the data off the stack 
instead of static data, then it should work.
