Of course not. But, anything you link with -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-ld has to be compiled with -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 The latter will supply -fPIE by default if you don't specify -fno-pic/-fpic/-fPIC/-fpie/-fPIE explicitly on the command line, similarly to how redhat-hardened-ld supplies -pie if -shared is not given. The rule is simple, objects to be linked into shared libraries have to be compiled with -fpic or -fPIC. Objects linked into position independent binaries have to be compiled with -fpie or -fPIE or -fpic or -fPIC (the latter two being less efficient for PIEs, on the other side can be linked into shared libraries too). Objects linked into position dependent binaries can be compiled with any of -fno-pic/-fpic/-fPIC/-fpie/-fPIE (-fno-pic is the default if you don't use -specs=/usr/lib/rpm/redhat/redhat-hardened-cc1 and is the most efficient -flag for position dependent binaries).
