Better merging of -fPIC/pic/PIE/pie in lto-wrapper


Hi,
PR lto/80838 is about lto+profiledbootstrapped compiler being slower than
profiledboostrapped compiler.

This is caused by a fact that some of object files linked into cc1plus binary
are built with -fPIC and lto-wrapper then decides to make whole binary PIC that
is very slow.  While we probably ought to avoid linking PIC code into static
binary but I saw similar issue with firefox and other programs.

I do not think we want to support mixed PIC/non-PIC symbols internally, because
it would need quite some work and I do not see any reasonable use cases.

This patch makes merging more realistic/agressive.  Linking -fPIC and non-PIC
code together results in non-PIC binary and thus the corresponding flags are
dropped when mismatches occurs.

It would be nice to warn about it, but I do not know how to make warning
meaningful on targets that are PIC by default.

Bootstrapped/regtested x86_64-linux, plan to commit it tomorrow after
lto-boottrapping if there are no complains.

Honza

	PR lto/80838
	* lto-wrapper.c (remove_option): New function.
	(merge_and_complain): Merge PIC/PIE options more realistically.
