Ah, the resend is missing some detail I included in the original:

For ppc64 specifically, I audited gcc/config/rs6000/ for references to flag_pic, and the
only changes between -fpic and -fPIC are for 32-bit ABI_V4.
More generally, our assembly is already set up for -fPIC, which is the pic-ccflag default;
the difference for -fPIE is only in the selection of external vs local binding.
For aarch64, I've audited uses of the adrp instruction in sysdeps/, and they are what I'd
expect, e.g.
aarch64/start.S: adrp x0, :got:main
and there are no instances of '_GLOBAL_OFFSET_TABLE_', which is indicative of -fpic.
For s390, I've similarly audited uses of the larl instruction:
s390/s390-64/start.S: larl %r2,main@GOTENT # load pointer to main
