gcc corrections for better pie support

[Zack Weinberg]

These look like a good idea in principle.  However, they will not be
accepted for the 3.4 branch, which is only open for fixes to
regressions from previous versions of the compiler.

I think it is fair to say that the changes you want to make are all
bug fixes.  Therefore, they would be acceptable for CVS mainline at
the present stage of the development cycle.  For changes of this
textual magnitude, however, you (and the original author of the
patches, if he/she is not you) must complete copyright assignment
paperwork with the FSF first.  This usually takes two or three weeks,
but can sometimes take months.  Instructions are appended to this
message.  (If you've already done this *for GCC*, just say so.)

I have not looked at the changes themselves.  Expect to be asked to
make nontrivial revisions before we actually accept the changes.  You
must submit each logically-distinct change separately, and you must
provide patches against CVS mainline, before anyone will bother to
look at them.

You can ensure that we do not forget about these bugs by filing bug
reports in GCC Bugzilla (http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla).  File separate
bug reports for each logically distinct bug.
