ld and R_386_GOTOFF relocs

[Peter S. Mazinger]

Hello!

I have gotten under peculiar circumstances following:
(sysvinit) init.o: relocation R_386_GOTOFF against protected function 
`main' can not be used when making a shared object

libc.so does not provide a weak 'main', main() is in crt1.o defined in asm 
as '.protected main'.

init is built as -pie executable.

I think this check is valid if a shared lib is created, but not valid for 
a PIE executable.

I think, that a check info->shared should be changed to
info->shared && !info->pie (or !info->executable), to allow pie to be 
linked, but I can't locate the one needed for this.

Thanks, Peter
