  Failure to link a PIE binary on ppc64el (FTBFS)

Bug description:
  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.
