--- Comment #9 from Xi Ruoyao <xry111 at gcc dot gnu.org> --- (In reply to Icenowy Zheng from comment #7) > Does -flto imply -pie ? I cannot understand the discussion here now... No, but if your GCC is configured --with-default-pie (it's enabled by almost all Linux distros), during LTO gcc will be invoked with an explicit -pie in the command line. Without -flto, there's no explicit -fpie flag and the bug is not triggered by the default PIE configuration alone. So it appears triggered by -flto.
