Use RIP-relative addressing when setting `environ` and `_auxv` in
startup code.

Some toolchains have `-pie` enabled by default. On them or when -pie is
specified manually gcc produces error like this:

  ld: /tmp/cci0uPcR.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against symbol `environ' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIE
  ld: failed to set dynamic section sizes: bad value

This is because asm() startup code accesses there pointers with absolute
addressing.

This may inspire others to fix the problem for other architectures too.

nolibc recently switched to startup code that is mostly implemented in C
instead of assembly.
See the current linux-next tree.

That should make this change unnecessary I guess.
