I still think specifying '-fPIC' on the compile command line and '-fpic' on the link line should have the same effect as '-fno-PIE' (compile) and '-no-pie' (link).
Moreover, while I see you've added documentation for '-no-pie' to gcc-7.info, there is no documentation there for '-fno-PIE' . It is a bad idea to ignore what the user specifies on the command line - when I specify '-fPIC', gcc silently contradicts me behind the scenes by adding '-fPIE', and the same for '-fpic' (it specifies '-pie') . -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1837881 Title: error in gcc / g++ specs : '-pie' always added To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-7/+bug/1837881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
