Subject: bug#20338: configure test for nopie with gcc 4.4.3 on Trisquel 4.1
Date: Wed, 15 Apr 2015 15:13:04 -0400

Package: emacs
Version: 25.0.50

On fencepost.gnu.org, I noticed the following oddity in config.log:

    configure:30326: checking whether gcc -std=gnu99 accepts -nopie
    configure:30346: gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest -g3 -O2 -Werror -nopie conftest.c   >&5 
    gcc: unrecognized option '-nopie'
    configure:30346: $? = 0
    configure:30356: result: yes

cat /etc/issue
Trisquel GNU/Linux 4.1 \n \l

gcc --version
gcc (Ubuntu 4.4.3-4ubuntu5.1) 4.4.3

cat test.c
int main ()
 {
   return 0;
 }

gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest -g3 -O2 -Werror -nopie test.c
gcc: unrecognized option '-nopie'

echo $?
0


Seems odd. Whereas:

gcc -std=gnu99 -o conftest -g3 -O2 -Werror  -foobar test.c
cc1: error: unrecognized command line option "-foobar"

echo $?
1
