Go has supported PIC builds for a while now, and given the security
benefits of using PIC binaries we should really enable them. There also
appears to be some indication that non-PIC builds have been interacting
oddly on ppc64le (the linker cannot load some shared libraries), and
using PIC builds appears to solve this problem.
