I’ll re-land disabling if PIC is off.
This doesn’t replace the static libraries with object libraries, it just
creates an object library target (named obj.${name}) for each static library.
That allows the objects to be referenced separately from the archives, so we
don’t have to do the -load-all/—whole-archive stuff we do for libLLVM.
