-no-pie is a linker flag, but distro folk that didn't quite know what they were doing made local changes to gcc's specs file. So it *is* a compiler command-line flag, but only for some builds of gcc.
Which distros is that? Debian? Patching gcc spec file like this - if that's true - is a way to disaster, and should be stopped. Thanks, /mjt
We can't just remove -no-pie, we need to probe for it as cc.get_supported_arguments instead of cc.get_supported_link_arguments. Or something. It's a mess, for sure. r~
