Description
I'm attempting to port the Dolphin emulator, whose JIT requires *no* position-independent code. It builds OK now, but despite -fno-pie getting passed to the linker, a position independent executable is still made:
$ readelf -h Binaries/dolphin-emu-qt2 | grep "Type: " Type: DYN (shared object file)
Possibly relevant: #12430. This is hrev50951, with GCC "5.4.0 (2016_06_04)" and ld "2.26.1".
The source code to my WIP port is here: https://github.com/waddlesplash/dolphin/tree/haiku-2 (Dolphin requires x86_64, so don't even bother trying to build on 32-bit Haiku.)

Is it? That ticket seems to be about broken TLS support, which was broken by the change which should've allowed non-PIEs. Unless those changes got reverted and I missed that...

OpenBSD at least is now going with all-PIE executables, so I don't think we need to "fix" this.
