configure: Implement --enable-host-pie
[ This is my third attempt to add this configure option. The first version was approved but it came too late in the development cycle. The second version was also approved, but I had to revert it: <https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2022-November/607082.html>. I've fixed the problem (by moving $(PICFLAG) from INTERNAL_CFLAGS to ALL_COMPILERFLAGS). Another change is that since r13-4536 I no longer need to touch Makefile.def, so this patch is simplified. ] This patch implements the --enable-host-pie configure option which makes the compiler executables PIE. This can be used to enhance protection against ROP attacks, and can be viewed as part of a wider trend to harden binaries. It is similar to the option --enable-host-shared, except that --e-h-s won't add -shared to the linker flags whereas --e-h-p will add -pie. It is different from --enable-default-pie because that option just adds an implicit -fPIE/-pie when the compiler is invoked, but the compiler itself isn't PIE. Since r12-5768-gfe7c3ecf, PCH works well with PIE, so there are no PCH regressions. When building the compiler, the build process may use various in-tree libraries; these need to be built with -fPIE so that it's possible to use them when building a PIE. For instance, when --with-included-gettext is in effect, intl object files must be compiled with -fPIE. Similarly, when building in-tree gmp, isl, mpfr and mpc, they must be compiled with -fPIE.
