Using R_RISCV_{HI20,LO12_I,LO12_S} to refer to non-absolute symbols in a 
PIE shouldn't be allowed, it's not going to produce the right answer at 
runtime.

We've got a lot of complicated bits in the build scripts so it's worth 
checking to make sure that `-fPIE` actually manifests in the link step.  
If it is and GNU LD isn't complaining then I think we've likely got a 
linker bug.
