Re: -pie is broken on hppa

I did an apt-get upgrade today on one of my systems and noticed
that portmap is now segfaulting at the same spot as nscd (i.e.,
in _start).

I don't know much about the mechanics of pie applications but it
appears that the dynamic loader relocates them like shared libraries.
We don't seem to handle this correctly.

Note the offset in the addil insns and the PIC register value.  I see
this relocation with readelf:

00001aec  00000102 R_PARISC_DIR21L   000000f4   .interp + 3df0

This relocation can't be used in a relocatable executable.

We seem to now have a R_PARISC_DLTIND21L in Scrt1.o.  Possibly, portmap
just needs to be relinked.  On the otherhand, it appears to me that
binutils is broken and needs updating for pie.
