+CheckPIESupported
+-----------------
+
+Check whether the linker supports position independent code (PIE) or no
+position independent code (NO_PIE) for executables.
+Use this to ensure that the :prop_tgt:`POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE` target
+property for executables will be honored at link time.

+
+  ::
+
+    check_pie_supported([OUTPUT_VARIABLE <output>]
+                        [LANGUAGES <lang>...])
+
+  Options are:
+
+  ``OUTPUT_VARIABLE <output>``
+    Set ``<output>`` variable with details about any error.
+  ``LANGUAGES <lang>...``
+    Check the linkers used for each of the specified languages.
+    Supported languages are ``C``, ``CXX``, and ``Fortran``.
+
+It makes no sense to use this module when :policy:`CMP0083` is set to ``OLD``,
+so the command will return an error in this case.  See policy :policy:`CMP0083`
+for details.
+
+Variables
+^^^^^^^^^
+
+For each language checked, two boolean cache variables are defined.
+
+ ``CMAKE_<lang>_LINK_PIE_SUPPORTED``
+   Set to ``YES`` if ``PIE`` is supported by the linker and ``NO`` otherwise.
+ ``CMAKE_<lang>_LINK_NO_PIE_SUPPORTED``
+   Set to ``YES`` if ``NO_PIE`` is supported by the linker and ``NO`` otherwise.
+
+Examples
+^^^^^^^^
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  check_pie_supported()
+  set_property(TARGET foo PROPERTY POSITION_INDEPENDENT_CODE TRUE)
+
+.. code-block:: cmake
+
+  # Retrieve any error message.
