  1. Probably you are using a too old clang version.

    For me, clang accepts the -no-pie option, so I get no error when doing e.g. this:

    clang -no-pie test.c

    Use clang --version to check which version you are using. Here is what I get:

    $ clang --version
clang version 8.0.0-3 (tags/RELEASE_800/final)
Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
Thread model: posix

    Try to install a newer clang version somehow. One way to do that may be to do something like sudo apt install clang-8.
