Apparently emacs cannot be built as a position independent executable, for whatever reason. Cherry-picking the following commit from the emacs-25 branch should help: http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?h=emacs-25&id=99892eeec8990884ef38601f14038ec6dc227741 See http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=24682 for more information.
