Ian Lance Taylor 734530e290 [release-branch.go1.4] cmd/go: pass -no-pie along with -Wl,-r to gcc when supported on linux
This is a backport of https://golang.org/cl/18359 to the Go 1.4 branch.
This fixes the Go 1.4 build on systems for which the compiler defaults
to using PIE. Such systems are becoming more common.

Original CL description:

    Go fails to build on a system which has PIE enabled by default like this:

    /usr/bin/ld: -r and -pie may not be used together
    collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

    The only system I know that has this property right now is Ubuntu Xenial
    running on s390x, which is hardly the most accessible system, but it's planned
    to enable this on amd64 soon too. The fix is to pass -no-pie along with -Wl,-r
    to the compiler, but unfortunately that flag is very new as well. So this does
    a test compile of a trivial file to see if the flag is supported.

Updates #20276

README

This is the source code repository for the Go programming language.  

For documentation about how to install and use Go,
visit http://golang.org/ or load doc/install-source.html
in your web browser.

After installing Go, you can view a nicely formatted
doc/install-source.html by running godoc --http=:6060
and then visiting http://localhost:6060/doc/install/source.

Unless otherwise noted, the Go source files are distributed
under the BSD-style license found in the LICENSE file.

Binary Distribution Notes

If you have just untarred a binary Go distribution, you need to set
the environment variable $GOROOT to the full path of the go
directory (the one containing this README).  You can omit the
variable if you unpack it into /usr/local/go, or if you rebuild
from sources by running all.bash (see doc/install.html).
You should also add the Go binary directory $GOROOT/bin
to your shell's path.

For example, if you extracted the tar file into $HOME/go, you might
put the following in your .profile:

    export GOROOT=$HOME/go
    export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin

See doc/install.html for more details.
