Look at this from x86inc.asm:
%ifdef WIN64
    %define PIC
%elifndef ARCH_X86_64
; x86_32 doesn't require PIC.
; Some distros prefer shared objects to be PIC, but nothing breaks if
; the code contains a few textrels, so we'll skip that complexity.
    %undef PIC
%endif

So if by PIC-friendly you mean "don't have textrels" than answer is
"no".
