Thank you very much for reviewing the patches!  Would you be ok with me
waiting to commit those to mainline, that you have approved that relate
to selectively nullifying GCC configured with --eanble-default-pie,
until my RFC patch "[RFC PATCH] ld: Nullify GCC default PIE in all
linker tests" has received any feedback?  From my perspective my RFC
patch would be the preferable global solution, that would then make the
respective patches from this series superfluous.

Thanks and regards,
Jens
