Remove -fPIC on x86_64 The -fPIC breaks the purgatory of kexec (= the code that passes command-line arguments to the kernel): kexec doesn't know how to handle the GOT and PLT relocation entries. There is also no reason at all to pass -fPIC. Shared libraries that require it will add it to their local Makefiles, and normal executables have no business with -fPIC (plus it adds overhead...). The -fPIC was added by Bernhard Reutner-Fischer <rep.dot.nop@gmail.com> in commit 8027784c. That commit adds sysroot parameters to CFLAGS. There is no explanation why -fPIC is also added for x86_64.
