I expect you are right.  I run ld directly only rarely, and
certainly am no expert.  In my tests I was simply blindly
following the example shown in your posting (with some variations
after my attempts gave the wrong answer, trying to get it to
work).  It didn't occur to me to consider ld.

I reproduced your findings.  The difference between gcc and clang is not
in ld, but in ld invocation options.
Specifically, gcc calls ld with -pie, clang calls ld without it.
gcc default behaviour can be overwritten with -no-pie switch.
I suppose that gcc4 has the same default as clang.
