--- Comment #2 from Richard Biener <rguenth at gcc dot gnu.org> --- There does not seem to be a way to build libgnat.a with -fPIC either, some taget modules in Makefile.def add --with-pic as additional configure flags, but I don't see libada checking this flag. Trying to undig myself out of the hole of the non-PIC host libgnat.a, first making sure that's PIC would eventually fix my --enable-host-pie issue as well (without the need to reverse engineer gnattool makefile stuff). I'll note that it seems we somehow avoid using -pie for building and linking of gcc/build/* executables which would suffer similar issues (they use -static-libxxx for host GCC as well).
