Mike,
Since SYSTEMSPEC in configure.ac is setting system specific options for
libgcj.spec.in, it seemed
the most rational place to append -no_pie to (and we already had a darwin entry
in the case statement).
FYI, I also tried a different approach of not appending -no_pie SYSTEMSPEC on
darwin but instead using...

while this produced an apparently functional gcj (ecj1), the libjava testsuite

I plan on opening a PR shortly, but I was hoping to be able to reproduce the
same failures under linux
using a bootstrap with the compiler defaulted to -fPIC code generation and the
inverse change applied
to linux of...
BOOT_LDFLAGS += -pie
to see how its boehm-gc and libjava testsuite results were impacted.
