Ok, back in MinGW land, now *libchicken.dll* has the bazillion 
C_temporary_stack errors etc.  Previously it was only libuchicken.dll.  
When building shared vs. static libraries, I've been using [PIC | 
C_NO_PIC_NO_DLL].  Is this wrong?  It seems that vcbuild.bat uses 
[(C_NO_PIC_NO_DLL & PIC) | C_NO_PIC_NO_DLL].  It's 3 am and I really 
don't get it.  Why use C_NO_PIC_NO_DLL for everything?  Is it a legacy 
issue, an OS or compiler specific issue...?
