I agree. When the version changes from 6.2.0-6 to 6.2.0-7, only bug
fixes should be included, not changes in functionality. In this case
setting enable-default-pie essentially broke backwards compatibility.
Kernel code that built in -6 failed to build in -7. That, I agree,
should be considered a bug, and the change should be rolled back.

It's a bug when a compiler fails to compile valid code.
Ben.
Take a look at this changelog entry:
gcc-6 (6.2.0-7) unstable; urgency=medium
[ Matthias Klose ]
* Configure with --enable-default-pie and pass -z now when pie is enabled;
on amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips mipsel mips64el ppc64el s390x.
Closes: #835148.
Starting at gcc 6.2.0-7 we must provide "-fno-PIE -fno-PIC" in
beginning of CFLAGS to build kernel successfully.
I'm currently looking for correct way to do this trick.
