I suppose you're referring to:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=841368

There is a workaround in the bugreport ("-fno-PIE -fno-PIC"[1]).
Is it worth trying it?
Although, we'll see how all of this enabling default PIE in gcc ends.

[1]: the former I believe we need anyway in place of -no-pie given to the
compiler).

from the manpage:
-pie
   Produce a position independent executable on targets that support it.  For
   predictable results, you must also specify the same set of options used for
   compilation (-fpie, -fPIE, or model suboptions) when you specify this linker
   option.
