-no-pie is a gcc option. Neither -no-pie nor --no-pie is a valid ld
option. The fault lies with whatever passed -no-pie to ld.

Please report that to the xen project. ld -no-pie doesn't have a useful
meaning. It used to mean the same as ld -n -o-pie, which sets "-pie" as
the output file name.

Aborting...
Currently I have fresh binutils 2.36.1-2 and it seems to me that the issue
is related to this part of code:
https://github.com/bminor/binutils-gdb/blob/master/ld/lexsup.c#L451
It seems to me that this could impact far more users than just me.
