commit ee14129be819bbe2d64a8e5c738cc13c47058296
Author: Siddhesh Poyarekar <siddhesh@sourceware.org>
Date:   Mon Dec 6 10:43:18 2021 +0530

    Replace --enable-static-pie with --disable-default-pie
    
    Build glibc programs and tests as PIE by default and enable static-pie
    automatically if the architecture and toolchain supports it.
    
    Also add a new configuration option --disable-default-pie to prevent building
    programs as PIE.
