And unfortunately I wasn't aware of this:

https://gcc.gnu.org/git/?p=gcc.git;a=commitdiff;h=e9abca4f4a48fa8b1fd9778f6a3cd748e099e3bb

Now I need to figure out the magic spec macros going on there and work
around the fact that default-pie mode has -static implicitly turning
default-pie off while we need it to stay on... Would a new
--enable-default-pie=always mode be appropriate? I don't think people
would be happy with changing the default, especially since glibc does
not have an rcrt1.o (yet)...
