That's what PIE is meant to do. However, not disabling support for lazy
linking (-fno-plt) / symbol interposition (-Bsymbolic) is going to cause
it to add needless overhead.

arm64 is using -pie -shared -Bsymbolic in arch/arm64/Makefile for their
CONFIG_RELOCATABLE option. See 08cc55b2afd97a654f71b3bebf8bb0ec89fdc498.
