[Buildroot] [PATCH v2] Trousers: disable pie option on ARC

ARC gcc understands "-pie" option and attempts to generate PIE
binaries as of today PIE is not really supported for user-space
applications.
So we provide option which checks if compiler understands relro
and pie options and disable PIE detection if building for ARC.
Also AUTORECONF option should be added because of modified
configure.in and Makefile.am files.

+Subject: [PATCH] Check if the compiler understands pie and relro options
+
+-pie and -fpie enable the building of position-independent
+executables, and -Wl,-z,relro turns on read-only relocation support in gcc.
+Add checks to ensure that the compiler and linker understand these options.

++# SYNOPSIS
++#
++#   AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG(FLAG, [ACTION-SUCCESS], [ACTION-FAILURE], [EXTRA-FLAGS])
++#
++# DESCRIPTION
++#
++#   Check whether the given FLAG works with the current language's compiler
++#   or gives an error.  (Warnings, however, are ignored)
++#
++#   ACTION-SUCCESS/ACTION-FAILURE are shell commands to execute on
++#   success/failure.
++#
++#   If EXTRA-FLAGS is defined, it is added to the current language's default
++#   flags (e.g. CFLAGS) when the check is done.  The check is thus made with
++#   the flags: "CFLAGS EXTRA-FLAGS FLAG".  This can for example be used to
++#   force the compiler to issue an error when a bad flag is given.
++#
++#   NOTE: Implementation based on AX_CFLAGS_GCC_OPTION. Please keep this
++#   macro in sync with AX_CHECK_{PREPROC,LINK}_FLAG.
