To be exact: this is since gcc-6 6.2.0-7 dated Tue, 18 Oct 2016 13:53:00 +0200
on amd64 arm64 armel armhf i386 mips mipsel mips64el ppc64el s390x.

A naive "git log -Sno-PIE" on gcc sources shows commit 3e7f6cce[1] from Feb

The patch works for me. I haven't done any but most trivial testing,
though.

raspberries, 0.4kg sugar; put into a big jar for 1 month. Filter out and
throw away the fruits (can dump them into a cake, etc), let the drink age
at least 3-6 months.
