Mike,
   The simple approach would be...

I would argue that this is useful in that it reminds the developers that boehm-gc isn't PIE friendly
and needs to be fixed.

-f{pic,PIC,pie,PIE,no-pic} aren't option that should have any effect on how
are binaries/shared libraries linked, these options control solely
compilation.  -shared, -pie or lack of these options determines how are
things linked.  So, either you should pass -no-pie or whatever linker option
you need to generate position dependent binaries by default, unless -shared
or -pie is specified, or you should add -no-pie or something similar, but
IMHO it shouldn't be -fno-pie, that is a compilation option/too similar to
them.

Jakub,
   This isn't really an option on darwin11 and later since the linker defaults to
-pie and this results in warnings from the linker of the form...

ld: warning: PIE disabled. Absolute addressing (perhaps -mdynamic-no-pic) not allowed in code signed PIE, but used in _f from /var/tmp//ccVNy9V9.o. To fix this warning, don't compile with -mdynamic-no-pic or link with -Wl,-no_pie

       * config/darwin10.h (LINK_GCC_C_SEQUENCE_SPEC):
         Pass -no_pie for non-PIC code when targeting 10.7 or later.

Modified:
    trunk/gcc/ChangeLog
    trunk/gcc/config/darwin10.h

is designed to inhibit this linker noise by explicitly disabling pie linkage. Also, FSF gcc previously wasn't
honoring -fno-pie since this didn't inhibit the darwin11 linker from creating a PIE executable. 
   Unfortunately the linker option -no_pie isn't recognized by earlier darwin linkers which makes -fno-pie
preferred since it only passes -no_pie to the linker when targeting 10.7 or later. So we may have to make
the change darwin-specific.
        Jack

perhaps the question should be "why is this particualr code being  
built with non-default options?".
x86 darwin code should default to fPIC - so someone must be passing - 
mdynamic-no-pic or -fno-PIC etc.

(perhaps derived from the bootstrap usage of the "-mdynamic-no-pic"  
option - which suggests that this should be disabled for Darwin >= 11).

Iain,
   I was only pointing out that we are in a unique situation when targeting
darwin11 and later since we are the only target currently creating PIE by
default. However unlike linux, darwin doesn't require or even encourage the
use of -fpie/-fPIE to do this but silently relies on the default -fPIC. Also, the
warning cited above was from gcc.dg/20020312-2.c which previously failed its
excessive error test since it passed -fno-pic which triggered the warning.
