Subject: [PATCH] tools/nolibc: mips: add support for PIC

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.
