Hi!

Archlinux is planning to enable -PIE flag in gcc by default however after this
change binutils compilation shows numerous errors in testsuite:

gcc 6.3.1, default settings (
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/gcc
):

grep Error binutils-2.27-1-x86_64-check.log 
make[3]: [Makefile:140: site.exp] Error 2 (ignored)
make[3]: [Makefile:141: site.exp] Error 1 (ignored)

gcc 6.3.1, default settings with --enable-default-pie:

grep Error binutils-2.27-1.90-x86_64-check.log 
make[3]: [Makefile:140: site.exp] Error 2 (ignored)
make[3]: [Makefile:141: site.exp] Error 1 (ignored)

binutils default build settings (
https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/packages.git/tree/trunk/PKGBUILD?h=packages/binutils
)

Those errors are currently blocking developers from making the change. I'll be
grateful if someone could help fixing them.
