Isn't it blacklisted above? Waldemar's code will select
BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE only if we are not on ARC *and* we are not
on m68k *and* we are not static linking.

So if you're static linking, !BR2_arc && !BR2_m68k && !BR2_STATIC_LIBS
is false, and BR2_TOOLCHAIN_SUPPORTS_PIE is not selected.

Would be nice, but I'm not sure it's that easy: in practice a simple
executable will build with -fPIE on ARC, but more complicated piece of
code will not.
