If -dynamic-linker isn't specified, linker will use
the default dynamic linker:
[hjl@gnu-6 pr16428]$ cat x.c
int main() { return 0; }
[hjl@gnu-6 pr16428]$ make
gcc -m32 -B./ -pie -static -fPIE -c -o x.o x.c
gcc -m32 -B./ -pie -static -o x x.o
./x
make: ./x: Command not found
make: *** [all] Error 127
[hjl@gnu-6 pr16428]$ readelf -l x

-static -PIE may make sense to ld, but not to GCC driver,
at least, not on Linux/x86 where the dynamic linker isn't
/usr/lib/libc.so.1
