I'm certain it (gcc) can be made to produce PIC code, if it doesn't
already.  I guess the only way to find out is to test it. :)

Not having written the machine description myself, I can't say that it
does or doesn't, and I'm not too familiar with the syntax for them.  It's
a sort of pseudo-assembly.

gcc could definitely support the 6309, with the right machine description.
