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.
