-fPIC flag is required for android

[GoogleCodeExporter]

C++ code must be generated using for shared library. And for this flag -fPIC 
must be specified

Make sure you don't have the -nostdlib flag defined for linking.
I.e. Ignore All Default Libraries = No

I hit this issue when I set the platform toolset to "ARM 4.8 Toolchain 
(arm-linux-androideabi-4.8)"

With platform toolset set as "ARM 4.6 Toolchain (arm-linux-androideabi-4.6)", 
there's no problem.

Setting Ignore "All Default Libraries = No" does make it link - but, of course, 
it makes the .so file larger.

Is there any update on this bug? I have been running into the same while 
linking a .so file with NDK r10d.
