[Bug 1973107] [NEW] Failure to link a PIE binary on ppc64el (FTBFS)

[Sergio Durigan Junior]

Public bug reported:

golang-1.18 fails to link a PIE binary on ppc64el, which is causing
FTBFSes in other packages (telegraf, in my case), including an FTBFS
while building golang-1.18 itself on that architecture.

There's an upstream bug & fix available, and I intend to work on
backporting them.  I'll probably need to do a two-stage upload in order
to be able to fully build the fixed golang compiler on ppc64el, though.
