Bug description:
  Making a simple file conftest.c with the following contents:

  int main() { return 0; }

  And then compiling it on i386 with gcc -fPIE -pie -static conftest.c
  returns:

  *** Error in `/usr/bin/ld': corrupted double-linked list: 0x08dddb38
  ***

  This breaks compilation xorg-server on i386. I believe that -static
  -fPIE -pie is probably invalid, and it fails on amd64 too.

  $ gcc -fPIE -pie -static conftest.c 
  /usr/bin/ld: /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/crtbeginT.o: relocation R_X86_64_32 against `__TMC_END__' can not be used when making a shared object; recompile with -fPIC
  /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-linux-gnu/4.8/crtbeginT.o: error adding symbols: Bad value
  collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

  But autoconf hangs on the corrupted double-linked list, which times
  out the xorg-server build.
