I confirmed on my AMD64 but the problem isn't of -fPIC.

Here is "make -n" result.

echo Compiling array.c...
cc -Wshadow -Wunused -Wall -Wno-format-y2k -fPIC -O2 -fpie -I..    -g -Wall -O2
-fpie -D_LARGEFILE_SOURCE -D_LARGEFILE64_SOURCE  -c array.c
echo Linking libcups.so.2...
cc -Wl,-soname,libcups.so.2 -shared -Wshadow -Wunused -Wall -Wno-format-y2k -fPI

tions.o page.o ppd.o snprintf.o string.o tempfile.o transcode.o usersys.o util.o
 -L/usr/lib -lgnutls -lpthread  -lz

I searched a similar problem, but all of I can find is only old
resolved binutils + pragma issue.

Dear gcc team, could you help me?

Thanks,
