Compile all programs on Android with -fPIE and -pie. This enables
PIE (Position Independent Executables), which helps protect Android
applications from exploitation due to memory management bugs.
Stop using the armelf.x linker script. This script hard codes the
load address of the executable, defeating the position independence
PIE requires.
Note: PIE *static* executables are not supported at this time and
require additional linker changes.

While building Android with latest host gcc, it causes the following
build error:
Install: out/host/linux-x86/bin/mkbootimg
host C++: obbtool <= frameworks/base/tools/obbtool/Main.cpp
<command-line>:0:0: error: "_FORTIFY_SOURCE" redefined [-Werror]
<built-in>:0:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition
cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors
In order to make build system happy, this patch does unset macro
_FORTIFY_SOURCE and then define it in host cflags.

We used to do that unconditionally but that caused lots of spurious
warnings in gcc-4.4.x about an unrecognized gcc option.

This is used by debug tools to find symbols for the stripped binary.
Adds ~70 bytes to each DSO, ~25000 bytes total, which is about 0.01% of the
system image.
This change only affects -eng and -userdebug builds, and does not affect -user.

"lunch sdk-eng" on cygwin tries to use a gcc.exe from the
prebuild arm toolchain, but it doesn't exist. This prevents
from setting variables to point on a gcc toolchain if there
is none for the given arch.

Review and clean-up of both compiler and linker flags
to ensure proper usage and consistency for images, toolchain,
SDK, and NDK.

Set LOCAL_GROUP_STATIC_LIBRARIES := true to group the static libraries,
in case we need gcc flags "-Wl,--start-group" and "-Wl,--end-group" to
fix circular references.

Option --strip-all will remove the static symbol section in addition to debug
symbols. We do not need the static symbol table in libraries installed on the
target.

This patch allows the Window sdk build (lunch sdk-eng; make win_sdk)
to work properly when USE_CCACHE is defined in the environment.
There is no Windows ccache prebuilt, but since we're cross-compiling
from Linux, detect it and use the linux prebuilt binary instead.
Note: Depends on https://review.source.android.com//#change,21755
for a complete solution to the problem.

This patch removes support for prelinking from the build system. By now, the
prelinker has outlived its usefulness for several reasons. Firstly, the
speedup that it afforded in the early days of Android is now nullified by the
speed of hardware, as well as by the presence of Zygote. Secondly, the space
savings that come with prelinking (measued at 17MB on a recent honeycomb
stingray build) are no longer important either. Thirdly, prelinking reduces
the effectiveness of Address-Space-Layout Randomization. Finally, since it is
not part of the gcc suite, the prelinker needs to be maintained separately.
The patch deletes apriori, soslim, lsd, isprelinked, and iself from the source
tree. It also removes the prelink map.
LOCAL_PRELINK_MODULE becomes a no-op. Individual Android.mk will get cleaned
separately. Support for prelinking will have to be removed from the recovery
code and from the dynamic loader as well.

Added LOCAL_NO_CRT to enable building executables that do not link
to the C runtime library.
Removed support for LOCAL_MODULE_SUBDIR since it was broken
and unused. (Was going to use it but ended up using LOCAL_MODULE_PATH
instead.)

This is needed in order to build Linux SDK binaries that can run
properly on Ubuntu 8.04 (Hardy). By default, the host toolchain
on 10.04 (Lucid) generates machine code that won't run on Hardy
due to GLibc ABI mistmatches.
Note that nothing happens if the new toolchain is not in the
prebuilt tree.

The purpose of removing global inline options is to give
compiler the opportunity to do inline optimizations and inline
tunings for Android native codes.
By removing these global inline options now, the size of
almost all native libraries are reduced. And there is no
noticable performance degradation on webkit, gcstone and
skia benchmarks.
