MIPS requires some extra instructions to set up the $gp register for the
with a pointer to the global data area.

This isn't needed for non-PIC builds, but this patch enables the code
unconditionally to prevent bitrot.

Also enable PIC in one of the test configurations for ongoing
validation.

Changes in v2:
- Preserver 8-byte alignment of stack pointer
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20231108-nolibc-pic-v1-1-9b7a429d5a6d@weissschuh.net
