commit ee14129be819bbe2d64a8e5c738cc13c47058296
Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>
Date:   Mon Dec 6 10:43:18 2021 +0530

    Replace --enable-static-pie with --disable-default-pie
    
    Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
    automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.
    
    Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent building
    programs as PIE.

commit 9978c36cad4b8cbc775283410be36631649b5f46
Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>
Date:   Wed Dec 8 11:21:26 2021 +0530

    Replace --enable-static-pie with --disable-default-pie
    
    Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
    automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.
    
    Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent
    building programs as PIE.
    
    Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default
    because they do not work at the moment.  hppa, ia64, alpha and csky
    don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation
    generated from PIE objects.  The microblaze compiler is currently
    failing with an ICE.  GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does
    not work and hence fails.  All these targets have default PIE disabled
    at the moment and I have left it to the target maintainers to enable PIE
    on their targets.
    
    build-many-glibcs runs clean for all targets.  I also tested x86_64 on
    Fedora and Ubuntu, to verify that the default build as well as
    --disable-default-pie work as expected with both system toolchains.

commit 4d51c09b466bf288b8c205a7c3b5fe43cc62bde3
Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>
Date:   Tue Dec 7 23:41:33 2021 +0530

    Replace --enable-static-pie with --disable-default-pie
    
    Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
    automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.
    
    Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent
    building programs as PIE.
    
    Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default
    because they do not work at the moment.  hppa, ia64, alpha and csky
    don't work because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation
    generated from PIE objects.  The microblaze compiler is currently
    failing with an ICE.  GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does
    not work and hence fails.  It could be made to work, but I've left the
    enabling for the Hurd maintainer.  build-many-glibcs runs clean for all
    targets now; following are the failures before disabling PIE for these
    targets.  I also tested x86_64 on Fedora and Ubuntu, to verify that the
    default build as well as --disable-default-pie work as expected with
    both system toolchains.

commit 9d2078b356ef18702f4ed15ba572072551771286
Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>
Date:   Tue Dec 7 13:55:01 2021 +0530

    Replace --enable-static-pie with --disable-default-pie
    
    Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
    automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.
    
    Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent
    building programs as PIE.
    
    Only the following architectures now have PIE disabled by default
    because they do not work at the moment.  hppa, ia64 and csky don't work
    because the linker is unable to handle a pcrel relocation generated from
    PIE objects.  The microblaze compiler is currently failing with an ICE.
    GNU hurd tries to enable static-pie, which does not work and hence
    fails.  It could be made to work, but I've left the enabling for the
    Hurd maintainer.  build-many-glibcs runs clean for all targets now;
    following are the failures before disabling PIE for these targets.  I
    also tested x86_64 on Fedora and Ubuntu, to verify that the default
    build as well as --disable-default-pie work as expected with both system
    toolchains.

commit 3cde9259e3444fd836b9f811e327032e3e284643
Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>
Date:   Mon Dec 6 10:22:20 2021 +0530

    Replace --enable-static-pie with --disable-default-pie
    
    Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
    automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.
    
    Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent building
    programs as PIE.

-@item --enable-static-pie
-Enable static position independent executable (static PIE) support.
-Static PIE is similar to static executable, but can be loaded at any
-address without help from a dynamic linker.  All static programs as
-well as static tests are built as static PIE, except for those marked
-with no-pie.  The resulting glibc can be used with the GCC option,
--static-pie, which is available with GCC 8 or above, to create static
-PIE.  This option also implies that glibc programs and tests are created
-as dynamic position independent executables (PIE) by default.
+@item --disable-default-pie
+Don't build glibc programs and tests in the testsuite as position independent
+executables (PIE).  By default, glibc programs and tests are created as
+position independent executables.  If the toolchain and architecture supports
+it, static executable are built as static PIE and the resulting glibc can be
