Hi,
This patch seems to have gotten a bit mangled when it was submitted,
so perhaps that's why it was ignored, but it would be great to get this
functionality in gcc.
In particular, systemd has begun relying on -static-pie for EFI
support, and has to implement workarounds (manually passing these flags
to the linker) for architectures that don't support -static-pie (see
[1], [2]).
Thanks, Ben
