Lit tests fail with rebased branch.

While I was trying to run
ninja check-bolt on the rebased branch following tests fail.

I am on an AMD Ryzen 7 hardware

Architecture:        x86_64
CPU op-mode(s):      32-bit, 64-bit
Byte Order:          Little Endian

I see one frequent issue with many files.

hot_end_symbol.s.tmp.o: relocation R_X86_64_32S against `.data' can not be used when making a PIE object; recompile with -fPIC
/usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output

Are there some suggestions on fixing them maybe I can try sending a patch if that's trivial?

Could you check if the compiler on your system produces position-independent executables (PIEs) by default?

@maksfb
Yes, I have the same problem. Since gcc/ld on the latest ubuntu produces PIE binaries by default I've passed %cflags with -no-pie option to all the tests to be able to test my changes. If you'd like I could make pull request with this changes.

@yota9 - thanks, yes this will be great!

@maksfb: we have these tests failing with the latest ubuntu due to pie (turned on by default since 17.10: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Security/Features, Built as PIE)
