Closely, but not closely enough. There isn't much info about -fpie but
I found something.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=99336

Apparently the -fpie switch requires gcc 3.3 whereas RH9.0 is only at 3.2.2.

I've been working with Dag Wieers, trying a few things. His SRPM
doesn't run as many tests as the one from David Summers. Will have more
info in a bit.
