    Document that --enable-static-pie implies PIE
    
    To build static PIE, all .o files are compiled with -fPIE.  Since
    --enable-static-pie is designed to provide additional security hardening
    benefits, it also implies that glibc programs and tests are created as
    dynamic position independent executables (PIE) by default for better
    security hardening.
