PIE is supported on many other hosts besides x86.

The default for non-x86 is now the same as x86: pie is used
if supported, and may be forced via --enable/--disable-pie.

The original commit that introduce this code (40d6444e91c) said:

 "Non-x86 are not changed, as they require TCG changes"

... are these "TCG changes" in place nowadays? Did you check on non-x86
systems? If so, please mention this in the commit message.

I have no idea what those "tcg changes" would be.  I have checked aarch64
(bionic) and ppc64le (centos 7).  I'll update the commit message.
