In the error message when you use just -fsanitize=thread:
$ gcc-4.8 -fsanitize=thread x.c
gcc-4.8.real: error: -fsanitize=thread linking must be done with -pie or -shared

It should probably mention -fPIC on amd64, as it doesn't work with just -pie.

The manual doesn't mention this either,  but thats an upstream problem as Debian didn't package that yet.
