>3. For nommu systems, building as PIE is mandatory; non-PIE binaries simply cannot run.
Those won't work as GCC hosts anyways.
>2. Refusal to build as PIE may violate distro policy of shipping only PIE binaries.
Sorry but PIE can't be used for GCC. If a distro policy of shipping only PIE
binaries then don't ship the compiler as the compiler is a security hole in
itself :).
