Comment(by nickm):
The point of the -fPIE / -fPIC here is that it allows Tor to use ASLR.
That's usually considered a good thing from the point of view of making it
a little harder to attack. If you're not worried about that, you can turn
off ASLR, and some other compiler security features, with --disable-gcc-
hardening.
