Subject: [PATCH] Add support for static PIE executables

Note that static PIE binaries are reported as dynamically linked by file(1):

    $ rustc -C target-feature=+crt-static hello_world.rb
    $ file hello_world
    ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically \
      linked, not stripped, with debug_info

In addition, ldd(1) reports that it's linked with ldd, as it can't find any
dependencies except itself loaded into the process:

    $ ldd hello_world
    ldd (0x237fcc81000)

Static PIE binaries are dynamic binaries without a loader or any DT_NEEDED
entries. The important is that they do not depend on libc or any other system
library, just like static binaries, but more secure.

    $ readelf -d hello_world
    Dynamic section at offset 0x2de40 contains 17 entries:
