-@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. This option also implies that glibc programs and tests are created
-as dynamic position independent executables (PIE) by default.
+@item --disable-default-pie
+Don't build glibc programs and the testsuite as position independent
+executables (PIE). By default, glibc programs and tests are created as
+position independent executables on targets that support it. If the toolchain
+and architecture support it, static executables are built as static PIE and the
