This test currently fails on s390x on distributions that configure GCC
without "--enable-default-pie", but does not on distributions that do.
As far as I can tell the test expects to be linked as PDE, but gets
linked as PIE if GCC is configured with with "--enable-default-pie".
For PDE this is a known test fail on s390x and I am working on resolving
all of the ld testsuite fails on s390x. Before that I would like to
make the test run deterministic.
