Whether consumers need to create a position-independent target
The INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property informs consumers of
this target whether they must set their
:prop_tgt:POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property to ON. If this
property is set to ON, then the :prop_tgt:POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE
property on all consumers will be set to ON. Similarly, if this
property is set to OFF, then the :prop_tgt:POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE
property on all consumers will be set to OFF. If this property is
undefined, then consumers will determine their
:prop_tgt:POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property by other means. Consumers
must ensure that the targets that they link to have a consistent
requirement for their INTERFACE_POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE property.
