 Pass -no-pie to GCC

 Certain distributions (e.g. Debian and Ubuntu) have enabled PIE be
 default in their GCC packaging. This breaks our abuse of GCC as a linker
 which requires that we pass -Wl,-r, which is incompatible with
 PIE (since the former implies that we are generating a relocatable
 object file and the latter an executable).

 Test Plan: Validate
