A wrapper around gcc which adds -fno-PIE doesn't work for the HOSTCC
builds, anyway:

% gcc -fno-PIE -o /tmp/hello /tmp/hello.c
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/cckzDf9X.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

Alas, the only workaround I've found which doesn't involve bisecting
the kernel is to add "CC=gcc-5" to the Makefile invocation (assuming
gcc-5 is installed of course).
