The reason for the error is that no spec matches the option.  For most 
targets, the option is matched in LINK_PIE_SPEC (only), which is part of 
LINK_COMMAND_SPEC; Darwin uses its own LINK_COMMAND_SPEC (as does DJGPP).  
I would advise making Darwin behave similarly to other targets by 
including an appropriate spec for this option in Darwin's 
LINK_COMMAND_SPEC.
