[patch] PIC support for X86-64

[Bo Thorsen]

This patch adds PIC support to the X86-64. It is not much tested since
this is not yet possible. It can create and link PIC code and that will
have to do until glibc gets PIC support so we can start loading it.

There are a few FIXME's in the code and I would love to have someone going
over the patch and commenting on it.

This is the ChangeLog entry:

The patch is gzipped and attached because of it's size.

Can this be commited?

Bo.
