old gcc (2.95.4) avaiable on some older OSes (FreeBSD 4.x) doesn't know the prefer-pic/no-prefer-pic option. It's used in several places, especially in configure.in pre-script. It should not be used when not supported.

Reproduce code:
---------------
N/A

N/A

Is there any problem with this option? 
If no, then what's the problem? 
If yes, then is it a secret?

I hoped the the category 'copile failure' explain what the problem is. The description says why the gcc fail during compilation sources (because of unknown option passed to it), the summary say's it also. The description suggest fix also - check if option is supported then don't call gcc with it if don't.
What kind of information I missed to reveal ?

Maybe I miss the exact error message? 
gcc: unrecognized option `-prefer-pic'
Hope it help to you.

What was the FULL compile line that caused the error?
