+ When ``-pgmc`` is used, GHC by default will never pass the ``-no-pie``
+ command line flag. The rationale is that it is not known whether the
+ specified compiler will support it. This flag can be used to indicate
+ that ``-no-pie`` is supported. It has to be passed after ``-pgmc``.
+
+ This flag is not neccessary when ``-pgmc`` is not used, since GHC
+ remembers whether the default C compiler supports ``-no-pie`` in
