Enable `static_position_independent_executables` on all gnu targets by Amanieu · Pull Request #158510 · rust-lang/rust

Amanieu · 2026-06-28T05:11:11Z

Glibc has supported static PIE for a while, so there's no reason to ever build a non-PIE executable with a modern toolchain.

I think we should do this, but I suspect this will be disruptive for some uncommon use cases.

@bors r+ rollup=iffy (anything that touches linkage might perturb a more obscure target)

This PR was rebased onto a different main commit. Here's a range-diff highlighting what actually changed.

Rebasing is a normal part of keeping PRs up to date, so no action is needed—this note is just to help reviewers.

Amanieu · 2026-08-02T03:02:20Z

It seems that the musl-gcc wrapper script doesn't actually support -static-pie and that this only worked because some musl targets build a full gcc cross-toolchain and use the gcc binary directly as the linker. I removed all the changes to musl targets so this only applies to gnu targets now.
