tests fail at tip on Linux/amd64 with gcc: unrecognized option '-no-pie'

[rjammala]

Probably because I am using an older version of gcc?

cmd/go tests whether GCC supports the -no-pie option, but the test assumes that GCC will exit non-zero for the unrecognized option. I just checked GCC 4.5.1, and it reports an error and then exits 0.

[ianlancetaylor]

Can you try https://golang.org/cl/18597? Thanks.

[rjammala]

Thanks for the fix Ian. It works for me.

CL https://golang.org/cl/18597 mentions this issue.
