-f{pic,PIC,pie,PIE,no-pic} aren't option that should have any effect on how
are binaries/shared libraries linked, these options control solely
compilation. -shared, -pie or lack of these options determines how are
things linked. So, either you should pass -no-pie or whatever linker option
you need to generate position dependent binaries by default, unless -shared
or -pie is specified, or you should add -no-pie or something similar, but
IMHO it shouldn't be -fno-pie, that is a compilation option/too similar to
them.
