commit 3625728a0e3a9b56c2b85ae7ea8bcabdd83ece6a

    Add support for producing position-independent executables
    
    Previously due to #12759 we disabled PIE support entirely. However, this
    breaks the user's ability to produce PIEs. Add an explicit flag, -fPIE,
    allowing the user to build PIEs.
    
    Test Plan: Validate
