using zig cc for mips(64)-linux-gnu target w/ flag -fno-PIC generates a TargetRequiresPIC error

[CrepeGoat]

Zig Version

0.12.0-dev.163+6780a6bbf

Steps to Reproduce and Observed Behavior

• Take an arbitrary C file, e.g. hello.c:

int main()
{
    return 0;
}

• compile it for either mips-linux-gnu or mips64-..., using the -fno-PIC flag, e.g.:

$ zig cc --target=mips-linux-gnu -c -v -mabi=64 -fno-PIC -mno-abicalls hello.c

• the command returns an error (note that the -v flag doesn't add any additional output information):

error: unable to create compilation: TargetRequiresPIC

Expected Behavior

By comparison, running clang with the same inputs succeeds:

$ clang --target=mips-linux-gnu -c -mabi=64 -fno-PIC -mno-abicalls -v hello.c
