Both musl and glibc have supported static PIE for a while, so there's no reason to ever build a non-PIE executable with a modern toolchain.

I think we should do this, but I suspect this will be disruptive for some uncommon use cases.

@bors r+ rollup=iffy (anything that touches linkage might perturb a more obscure target)
