Comment(by Sebastian):

 No it's on purpose, check the m4/ax_check_compile_flag.m4 file:

 {{{
 #   Check whether the given FLAG works with the current language's
 compiler
 #   or gives an error.  (Warnings, however, are ignored)
 }}}

 configure says:
 {{{

 checking whether C compiler accepts -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fstack-protector-all... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fwrapv... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fPIE... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts --param ssp-buffer-size=1... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fno-strict-aliasing... yes
 checking whether C compiler accepts -fno-strict-overflow... yes
 checking whether the linker accepts -pie... yes
 checking whether the linker accepts -z relro... no
 checking whether the linker accepts -z now... no
 }}}

 So this works as intended by the authors of the ax_check_compile_flag.m4,
 but it sounds like not as you intended?
