+@item --enable-static-pie
+Enable static position independent executable (static PIE) support.
+Static PIE is similar to static executable, but can be loaded at any
+address without help from a dynamic linker. All static programs as
+well as static tests are built as static PIE, except for those marked
+with no-pie. The resulting glibc can be used with the GCC option,
+-static-pie, which is available with GCC 8 or above, to create static
+PIE.

@item --disable-profile
Don't build libraries with profiling information. You may want to use
this option if you don't plan to do profiling.
