Example error:
/usr/bin/ld: error: can't create dynamic relocation R_386_PC32 against symbol: gettimeofday in readonly segment; recompile object files with -fPIC
This port links some non-PIC code, which fails with lld as it defaults to disallowing relocations against read-only segments. For i386 we can just add -znotext unconditionally: for GNU BFD ld it just affirms BFD's existing default.
Original version committed in rS479024, this review represents a preferred approach.
