It's an option for the m5 utility, not the gem5 simulator. It tells the

I think that should work, although I haven't tried it. If you're using the

Probably not. There were some other fixes which made things partially work
with PIE code, but the version of the utility you're using may be too old
to include those, or you might be trying to use it in a way that the
partial support didn't cover (different ISA for instance). You'll probably

That version of gem5 is a few years old and doesn't have the updates to the
m5 utility that made it use scons. In that version, you need to use make.
