Agreed that using embedded pic relocations for linux is a bug.
It's almost certainly a regression from some earlier version of gcc,
so if you can give a specific version number, I think the patch should
be OK for 3.4.x.

This is the same as the definition in defaults.h.  Do we really need it?
If not, and given that the comment references a URL anyway, I think it
would be better to just remove both the linux.h and linux64.h definitions.
Anyone who wonders why can go to Google.

A patch to remove both definitions is preapproved if it works.
