Thanks for the tip. I haven't done a lot of development on linux 
so I messed quite a bit with my arch install. It's very well 
possible that I messed something up. I am planing to reinstall in 
a few weeks anyway :)

Having said that, from the arch wiki:

Looks like there is a hardening-wrapper which forces PIC by 
default. As clang worked just fine I assumed that was the actual 
problem. I will look into it again once I reinstalled my system.
