Well, that manual is a little old, so maybe that information is outdated...
It seems to be a little bit outdated. amd64 and ia64 require -fPIC for shared libs too. That's why the Debian policy requires all shared libs to be compiled with -fPIC. There are only a few architectures, that support shared non-relocatable code. That's i386 and maybe anonther one. All other architecures require -fPIC.
