Unlike PIC, PIE was introduced later, yet might still be defaulted to. Hence it 
may
be necessary to also deal with that, instead of just addressing one half. Yet it
would mean detecting PIE support in the compiler, other than PIC, which - as
you've verified - is available everywhere we care about.
