 generating bytecodes, as they need to be used during the final link.
 Currently, the following options and their settings are taken from
 the first object file that explicitly specifies them: 
-@option{-fPIC}, @option{-fpic}, @option{-fpie}, @option{-fcommon},
-@option{-fexceptions}, @option{-fnon-call-exceptions}, @option{-fgnu-tm}

+The following options @option{-fPIC}, @option{-fpic}, @option{-fpie} and
+@option{-fPIE} are combined based on the following scheme:

 Certain ABI-changing flags are required to match in all compilation units,
