The architecture already has big PIE. The issue is that clang doesn't
support secure-plt for small pic. I haven't entirely figured out
what's going on here and we probably need some further fixes to clang
here. On the other hand I think it is probably time to recognize
there is more and more bloat in the world.
Thoughts?
