That said, it's the same issue with clang-3.8, see attached testcase:

cc    -c -o test.o test.c
clang-3.8  -c test-clang.c -o test-clang.o
cc   test.o test-clang.o   -o test
/usr/bin/ld: test-clang.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against undefined symbol `x' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
