Right now there is no way to disable TEXT randomization on a PPC32
machine. text randomization happens even in the case of "echo 0 >
/proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space"
This happens due to the incorrect definition of ELF_ET_DYN_BASE at
arch/powerpc/include/asm/elf.h

Test details:
#include <stdio.h>
int main(int argc,char *argv)
{
printf("main = %p\n",main);
return 0;
}
Compile the same as position-independent executable
