So it turns out that ld hanging on the backtrace is actually glibc bug
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16159 getting tickled.
Setting the MALLOC_CHECK_ environment variable causes it not to hang, by
not trying to emit the back trace and deadlocking on reacquiring the
malloc lock:
$ MALLOC_CHECK_=2 gcc -o /tmp/conftest -fPIE -pie -static conftest.c
collect2: error: ld terminated with signal 6 [Aborted], core dumped
