uClibc-ng does not support PIE for some architectures as
arc and m68k. It isn't implemented in the static linking case, too.
With musl toolchains you might have static PIE support with little
patching of gcc. Static linking for GNU libc isn't enabled in
buildroot. Fixup any package using special treatment of PIE.
(grep -ir pie package/*/*.mk)

It seems that we also need to black list ARM + uClibc + static linking config [1]

Also, what about a test in the toolchain helper to check PIE support is really
available ?

In order to ease the review, I would be great if you can split these changes in
two patches ?
- add BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE in the toolchain infra
- use BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE in packages

Best regards,
Romain

Isn't it blacklisted above? Waldemar's code will select
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE only if we are not on ARC *and* we are not
on m68k *and* we are not static linking.

So if you're static linking, !BR2_arc && !BR2_m68k && !BR2_STATIC_LIBS
is false, and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE is not selected.

Would be nice, but I'm not sure it's that easy: in practice a simple
executable will build with -fPIE on ARC, but more complicated piece of
code will not.

I've changed to positive logic instead:

ifeq ($(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE),)

> +	USERCOMPILE="$(TARGET_CFLAGS) $(if $(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE),-fPIE,)" \
> +	USERLINK="$(TARGET_LDFLAGS) $(if $(BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE),-fPIE,)" \

The final comma was not needed.

Applied with those two changes. Thanks!
