The driver could just pass it or change -fPIE into a new -fstatic-PIE.

Well ideally we'd have the same option that works in both compilers - it's likely easy to
support in GCC.

It would be great to also have something like -ffast-PIC that implies -fno-semantic-interposition
since 99% of the time you don't need semantic interposition.

Cheers,
Wilco
