The AVR backend does not generate position independent code, yet it happily accepts -fpic, -fPIC, -fpie and -fPIE. The generated code doesn't change at all. Also, it accepts the -shared option to generate a shared library, without really doing anything with it.
This causes one of the regression tests (gcc.dg/lto/pr54709 c_lto_pr54709_0.o-c_lto_pr54709_1.o link) to fail with an 'undefined reference to main' error, when the test is trying to build a shared object. The attached patch generates a warning if one of the -f{pic,PIC,pie,PIE} options is provided, and an error if -shared is provided ( config/mep/mep.c and config/s390/tpf.h already do something very similar). Regression tested with no new failures.Tests which exercise PIC now report as unsupported. If ok, could someone commit please? I don't have commit access.
