The documentation is clear here and even mentions -pie option for the link
side:

-fpie
-fPIE
These options are similar to -fpic and -fPIC, but the generated
position-independent code can be only linked into executables. Usually these
options are used to compile code that will be linked using the -pie GCC option.

-fpie and -fPIE both define the macros __pie__ and __PIE__. The macros have the
value 1 for -fpie and 2 for -fPIE.

 CUT ---
I think someone did not read the documentation after all.

That's confusing. Is there anywhere in the documentation or somewhere that this
could be clarified? Maybe a "Commonly Confused Compiler Options" page in the
wiki or something?

You want -no-pie; not -fno-pie.
-no-pie turns off the linking and -fno-pie just turns off the compiler option.
