4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------ From: Sebastian Andrzej Siewior <[email protected]> commit 90944e40ba1838de4b2a9290cf273f9d76bd3bdd upstream. If the gcc is configured to do -fPIE by default then the build aborts later with: | Unsupported relocation type: unknown type rel type name (29) Tagging it stable so it is possible to compile recent stable kernels as well.
