1. Fixed for veneers generated by linker for interworking …

   A compiler can do tail call optimizations, emitting
   R_ARM_JUMP24 relocation instead of a normal call.
   
   If this call has interworking (was from arm function to a thumb function
   or vice versa), binutils produces a veneer, because it needs to do a
   switch. By default these veneers do jumps to an absolute address. This
   patch forces ld to produce veneers for position independent binaries.
   
   tldr; no need for `--no-optimize-sibling-calls` anymore, sibling calls
   will ✨ work ✨
   
   An example of veneer before this patch:
   
   ```
   81000010 <__func_thumb_from_arm>:
   81000010: e51ff004      ldr     pc, [pc, #-4]           @ 0x81000014 <$d>
   
   81000014 <$d>:
   81000014: 01 00 00 81   .word   0x81000001
   ```
   
   and after:
   
   ```
   81000010 <__func_thumb_from_arm>:
   81000010: e59fc004      ldr     r12, [pc, vitasdk#4]           @ 0x8100001c <$d>
   81000014: e08fc00c      add     r12, pc, r12
   81000018: e12fff1c      bx      r12
   
   8100001c <$d>:
   8100001c: e5 ff ff ff   .word   0xffffffe5
   
   ```
