--- Comment #3 from Benjamin Peterson <benjamin at benjamin dot pe> ---
This bug still seems to be present, though the assertion error is on a
different line these days:

$ gold --version

$ cat > main.c

#include <stdio.h>

int main() {
    printf("%s %s\n", tzname[0], tzname[1]);
    return 0;
}
$ gcc -o /dev/null -fuse-ld=gold -Wl,-znocopyreloc -no-pie -fno-PIE main.c
gold: internal error in check_non_pic, at
../../binutils-gdb/gold/x86_64.cc:3480
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

One thing that has changed, though, is that GNU ld gives a nice error message,
at least for my example:

$ gcc -o /dev/null -fuse-ld=bfd -Wl,-znocopyreloc -no-pie -fno-PIE main.c
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: /tmp/ccOxJ8M1.o: relocation R_X86_64_PC32 against symbol
`tzname@@GLIBC_2.2.5' can not be used when making a PDE object; recompile with
-fPIC
/usr/bin/ld.bfd: final link failed: nonrepresentable section on output
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
