cmd/link: for -buildmode=exe pass -no-pie to external linker
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
On some systems the external linker defaults to PIE. On some systems
DT_TEXTREL does not work correctly. When both are true we have a bad
situation: any Go program built with the default buildmode (exe) that
uses external linking will fail to run. Fix this by passing -no-pie to
the external linker, if the option is supported.

Fixes #17847.
