[Xen-devel] [PATCH] x86emul/test: disable pie for 64-bit builds

[Wei Liu <wei.liu2@xxxxxxxxxx>]

PIE may (and commonly will) result in the binary being loaded above
the 4Gb boundary, which can't work with at least the VZEROUPPER compat
mode test.

With this patch, vzeroupper passes, but one other test fails.
Testing SSE packed single 64-bit code sequence...[line 368] failed!
