Position Indepedent Code for Nios

I'd guess that 13.1 contains a newer version of gcc.

I only use a copy of gcc I've compiled from source - so don't know which versions are in the Quartos releases.

I'm not sure what they mean by 'the Linux ABI'. The only thing I can think of is that PIC code needs switch statement jump tables in the .code segment (due to linker restrictions, and probably 16bit offset limits), but you don't want that for small systems where you want pure code.

It still seems strange to require a separate option (and probably a compiler build-time one).
