GCC is giving you a hint. Actually, I've run into other stuff in
Gentoo that breaks with PIE and PIC. Google is full of complaints for
other distros. I'm seriously considering sticking "-fno-pic -fno-pie"
into CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS before migrating to 17.0. And it'll also save me
from rebuilding everything on every machine. My ancient netbook with 2
gigs of ram will thank me.
