Public bug reported:

The stock ubuntu system compiler (gcc / g++)
as shipped cannot compile my program, 
because in its specs it adds '-pie' to the
command line of EVERY collect2 invocation:

Example:
<pre>
$ g++ -std=gnu++17 ... -fPIC -c test.C
$ g++ --verbose -fPIC -fpic -o test test.o -lstdc++ -lrt -lm -ldl -lc
Using built-in specs.

</pre>

Note your g++'s specs file is specifying '-pie' - it shouldn't.

I do not want to make an -pie executable.

Why is Ubuntu forcing me to do so, and what is more, failing to do so ,
when I did not ask it to ?

I have specified -fPIC to build the object, and -fpic to link the executable,
so the specs should not be specifying '-pie' !

As you can see above, you have configured the 
*link_command spec with a bug:
  '!no-pie:-pie'

Obviously, specifying '-fpic' on the command line and not '-pie'  is
somehow not enough to trigger 'no-pie' - it should be!
