Without any extra guidance, clang will generate libstub with either
absolute or relative ELF relocations. Use the right combination of
-fpic and -fno-pic on different files to avoid this.

NAK.

This patch was labeled "HACK:" in our experimental tree. There's no rhyme or reason to why this combination of -f[no-]pic flags generates code without problematic relocations. It's inherently fragile, and was only intended as a temporary workaround until I (or someone more familiar with EFI) got a chance to revisit the problem.

Unless the gcc CFLAGS are also an artifact of "mess with -f[no-]pic until the compiler generates what you want", this doesn't belong upstream.
