data: Do not enable PIE when linking static programs

It seems like at least glibc does not support statically linked PIE
programs, and produces random junk. Disable globally for now, if
there's a desire to enable static PIE binaries, which is known to
work on some architectures (such as musl-based ones) we can add
specialized specs files in the future.

Closes: #843714

+  * Improve PIE flags support:
+    - Do not enable PIE when linking static programs. glibc-based systems
+      do not support this combination and produce very bogus output.
+      Proposed by Szabolcs Nagy <nsz@port70.net>. Closes: #843714
   * Test suite:
     - Mark partially documented POD modules as TAP TODO.
