OK, so this is fundamentally an issue with the gcc wrapper... there
isn't a way to get the relocatable crt files without telling the linker
to link PIE (except perhaps using some -Wl option, maybe "-Wl,-no-pie"?)

Either way, if the *only* goal is to get the file above a certain point,
like 4 GiB, then there is no reason not to randomize upward.
