This looks like a big step backwards and I'm afraid it can break targets
where -fpic/-fPIC is the default.  If dg-add-options bind_pic_locally must
add options to the end of command line, then can't you just push the options
that must go last to some variable other than dg-extra-tool-flags and as we
override dejagnu's dg-test, put it in our override last (or in whatever
other method that already added the multilib options)?
