-pie was added to C flags for ThreadSanitizer in commit
19f251a2. Under clang 3.8.0, the -pie
flag causes a compiler warning and a linker error when running configure
--toolchain=clang-tsan. Here is an excerpt from config.log:

clang ... -fsanitize=thread -pie -std=c11 -fomit-frame-pointer -pthread -c -o /tmp/ffconf.A8SsaoCF.o /tmp/ffconf.JdpujQlD.c
clang: warning: argument unused during compilation: '-pie'
clang -fsanitize=thread -pie -Wl,--as-needed -o /tmp/ffconf.2iYA4bsw /tmp/ffconf.A8SsaoCF.o -lm -lm -lbz2 -lz -pthread
/usr/bin/ld: /tmp/ffconf.A8SsaoCF.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against undefined symbol `atan2f@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Bad value
clang: error: linker command failed with exit code 1 (use -v to see invocation)

To be conservative, I changed -pie to -fPIE. But the documentation seems
to imply just -fsanitize=thread is enough:
