If "can not be used when making a PIE object" appears in make

When I built a user program from a Makefile to replace it with Ubuntu 18.04 on Amazon Lightsail, the linker threw an error.

phenomenon

$ uname -a
Linux example 5.3.0-1023-aws #25~18.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Jun 5 15:18:30 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

$ make
gcc -g -I../include -c foo.c
gcc -g -o foo foo.o bar.o -L ../lib -lwebsockets -lmysqlclient
/usr/bin/ld: bar.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `.rodata' can not be used when making a PIE object。 -Recompile with fPIC.
/usr/bin/ld:Last link failed:There is no section corresponding to the output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
Makefile:14: recipe for target 'foo' failed
make: *** [foo] Error 1

It seems that it has changed to link as ** PIE ** (Position Independent Executable) by default from version 6 of gcc. ** PIE ** is an executable file consisting only of ** PIC ** (Position Independent Code) object files. So, if there is a code that is not ** PIC **, the link will fail.

Verification

Let's take a look at the configure option when gcc was built.

$ gcc -v
Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/7/lto-wrapper
OFFLOAD_TARGET_NAMES=nvptx-none
OFFLOAD_TARGET_DEFAULT=1

You can see that there is --enable-default-pie. Certainly ** PIE ** is enabled by default. (** PIE ** is disabled on CPU architectures that don't work)

On the other hand, the configure of the machine used for development did not have it, and the version of gcc was quite old as 5 series.

Coping

You don't have to put it in ** PIE ** format, so just add -no-pie to LDFLAGS in the Makefile.
