I thought you meant you would add the try_compile to the platform file
to decide whether to report -fPIE.

I mean that

  set(CMAKE_${lang}_COMPILE_OPTIONS_PIE "-fPIE")

should not be done if the compiler does not have -fPIE.
Therefore Modules/Compiler/GNU.cmake needs to test the
compiler version to decide whether -fPIE is available.
Likely other toolchains will need similar checks.
