I don't see why not. AFAIK, the switch in Clang took a while and happened 
gradually - so we probably shouldn't rush this in Flang. We'd also need to 
check the behavior in `gfortran` (so that we maintain consistency).

Just the executable.

AFAIK, `isPIEDefault` is only used in tools::ParsePICArgs 
<https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/lib/Driver/ToolChains/CommonArgs.cpp#L1208>
 . In Flang, we don't support any of `-fpic/-fPIC/-fpie/-fPIE`. And 
`CLANG_DEFAULT_PIE_ON_LINUX` leads to `-fpie` being added by default to the 
final linker invocation (when generating the executable). But that doesn't make 
sense if the object files were generated with `-fpic`. Hence the change.

Good question! We've not experimented with mixed C++/Fortran programs enough, 
so I don't have an answer. But we should probably create a GitHub ticket to 
restore consistency between Clang and Flang.
