Thanks.

I've found two working (i386-elf tested only yet) alternatives and
pushed them to gerrit:

https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/17936/
https://review.coreboot.org/#/c/17938/

I prefer the latter for treating all GCCs the same way, without changing
anything obvious for compilers that don't default to `-pie`.
