Comment (by ken.cunningham.webuse@…):

 found some more -- linker does test for PIE, I see, and finds failure
 {{{

 conftest.c:44: warning: function declaration isn't a prototype
 ld: -pie can only be used when targeting Mac OS X 10.5 or later

 }}}
 and that makes it into the summary
 {{{
 ax_cv_check_ldflags___Wl__z_now=no
 ax_cv_check_ldflags___Wl__z_relro=no
 ax_cv_check_ldflags___pie=no
 }}}

 so the compiler accepts -fPIE, but the linker does not

 {{{

 CFLAGS='-pipe -Os -arch i386 -funsigned-char -fPIE -fPIC -Wall -Wextra
 -Wstrict-prototypes -Wno-unused-parameter -Wno-sign-compare -Wno-pointer-
 sign -Wno-missing-field-initializers -Werror=format-security -Werror=init-
 self -Werror=declaration-after-statement -Werror=missing-include-dirs
 -Werror=implicit-function-declaration -Werror=pointer-arith'
 LDFLAGS='-L/opt/local/lib -Wl,-headerpad_max_install_names -arch i386'
 }}}

 and in the end, the link line looks like it's made up of both CFLAGS
 (with-fPIE) and LDFLAGS, and errors out...
