When -dynamic is specified but -fPIC is not, generate code that works around the ELF dynamic linker's misguided attempts to keep the main program unaware of dynamic linking. This involves generating indirect references and computed jumps for position dependent code, too, and making all constant data sections writable in order to persuade ld to not use "COPY" relocations. Tested on powerpc-linux; in theory, it also applies to i386-linux, but other parts of the PIC story are missing there. Note that the writable-const-data hack could be improved a bit by distinguishing between "really" constant data and "relocatable" constant data, which would be a nice thing to do anyway.
