I did not find a version of `gcc` that requires (or even understands) `-nopie`.
Do you have any information what systems do require this?

By default `gcc` does not enable PIE. This changes when you enable hardening
toolchains and/or enable some options in your environment, though.
But that is what my change is about: It uses the preprocessor to check whether
or not `gcc` generates PIE code. The workaround is added in first case only.
Thinking about some more changes...
