At the ld level, it basically breaks down to the question what the desired behaviour is when nonsensical combinations of -nopie and -shared are encountered. At the moment, -nopie cancels out a previously encountered -shared, so ld -shared -nopie ... will try to generate a non-shared, non-pie object, while ld -nopie -shared ... will behave the same as "ld -shared". I think this is the behaviour most people would expect, but I might be wrong. Other opinions?
