I've updated the bug some more with more info

I can't replicate this on RHEL7 with GCC 4.8.5 or GCC 7.3.1

My GCC is as follows:

Using built-in specs.
COLLECT_GCC=gcc
COLLECT_LTO_WRAPPER=/usr/libexec/gcc/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu/9.2.0/lto-wrapper

gcc version 9.2.0 (Gentoo 9.2.0 p1)

Could this be related to the --enable-default-ssp or --enable-default-pie?
