Hi Magnus,

a couple of comments, mostly nits.

Many of those entries are mis-formatted.  See other examples and the GNU
Coding Standards for details.  E.g. the first would be

	* config/gnu-user.h (PIE_DRIVER_SELF_SPECS): Define.

In general, you need to mention which macro, variable, manual section
you change.  Emacs' add-change-log-entry does the basics for you.
Besides, you only state what changed, not why.

Apart from that, I don't think defining PIE_DRIVER_SELF_SPECS in
gnu-user.h is a good idea.  This way, every other target supporting the
option would have to duplicate that stuff.

	* testsuite/gcc/default-pie.c: New test for new configure option
	--enale-default-pie

gcc/testsuite has its own ChangeLog file.  Typo for --enale-...

	* testsuite/gcc.dg/other/anon5.C: Add skip test as it fail to link
	on effective_target default_pie.

should be

	* g++.dg/other/anon5.C: Skip if default_pie.

No explanations in ChangeLog entries; they belong into the code.
Besides, you had the first dir component wrong.  Again, Emacs does this
for you.

	* testsuite/lib/target-supports.exp (check_profiling_available):
	We can't use profiling on effective target default_pie. 
	(check_effective_target_pie): Add check_effective_target_default_pie.

Wrong: should be

	* lib/target-supports.exp (check_effective_target_default_pie):
        New proc.

The new default_pic effective-target keyword needs to be documented in
doc/sourcebuild.texi.

@option{-static}.

And just "Note: " or perhaps "@emph{Note}:" as in many other cases.

Why restrict to Linux, GNU?  default_pie should be enough once other
targets add this.

Emit those default args, they're unnecessary.  Also in g++.dg/other/anon5.C.

The first arg to dg-skip-if should explain why you're skipping the test.
