    Define pie-default/default-pie-ldflag for --enable-static-pie

    1. Add $(pie-default) to CFLAGS-.o and CFLAGS-.op.
    2. Add $(default-pie-ldflag) to +link-static-before-libc.
    3. Define +prectorT/+postctorT to $(+prectorS)/$(+postctorS).

    i386: Add _startup_sbrk and _startup_fatal [BZ #21913]

    On Linux/i386, there are 3 ways to make a system call:

    1. call *%gs:SYSINFO_OFFSET.  This requires TLS initialization.
    2. call *_dl_sysinfo.  This requires relocation of _dl_sysinfo.
    3. int $0x80.  This is slower than #2 and #3, but works everywhere.

    When an object file is compiled with PIC, #1 is prefered since it is
    faster than #3 and doesn't require relocation of _dl_sysinfo.  For
    dynamic executables, ld.so initializes TLS.  However, for static
    executables, before TLS is initialized by __libc_setup_tls, #3 should
    be used for syscalls.  This patch adds _startup_sbrk and _startup_fatal
    to be used in static executables before __libc_setup_tls is called.  By
    default, they are defined to __sbrk and __libc_fatal, respectively.  On
    Linux/i386, a special _startup_sbrk is provided and _startup_fatal is
    turned into ABORT_INSTRUCTION.

        [BZ #21913]
        * csu/libc-tls.c: Include <startup.h>.
        (__libc_setup_tls): Call _startup_sbrk instead of __sbrk.  Call
        _startup_fatal instead of __libc_fatal.
        * elf/dl-tunables.c: Include <startup.h>.
        (tunables_strdup): Call _startup_sbrk instead of __sbrk.
        * sysdeps/generic/startup.h: New file.
        * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/startup.h: Likewise.
        * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/startup_sbrk.c: Likewise.
        * sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/Makefile (sysdep_routine): Add
        startup_sbrk if default to PIE.
        (static-only-routines): Likewise.
