a5300c4949b8d4de2d34bedfaed66793f48ec948 qboot: Disable PIE for ELF binary build step
The switch to meson in commit fd2aada36b98 ("Add meson build") had two
major behavior changes for the ELF binary build step:
* ELF binary is no longer build as x86_64 on x86_64
* ELF binary is build as position independent executable on systems with a
"--enable-default-pie" gcc
The latter will create a slightly larger than 64KB bios.bin which causes an
error when Qemu tries to load it:
qemu: could not load PC BIOS 'qboot/build/bios.bin'
This behavior change was introduced because the elf linker step was changed
from using ld directly to using cc. Basically something like following
Makefile change:
bios.bin.elf: $(obj-y) flat.lds
- $(LD) -T flat.lds -o bios.bin.elf $(obj-y)
+ $(CC) -o bios.bin.elf $(obj-y) -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--as-needed -nostdlib -m32 -Wl,--build-id=none -Wl,-Tflat.lds
GCC will then take care of calling ld with the appropriate arguments. And
one of these arguments for the "--enable-default-pie" gcc is "-pie":
$(LD) --build-id --eh-frame-hdr -m elf_i386 --hash-style=gnu -dynamic-linker /lib/ld-linux.so.2 -pie -o bios.bin.elf $(obj-y) --no-undefined --as-needed --build-id=none -Tflat.lds
This default behavior of gcc must be suppressed by adding -no-pie to the
arguments when linking the object files.
