Commit message

Work around pointer equality problem with -Bsymbolic-functions on powerpc/ppc64el.

Description of the change

dee-qt fails to build on powerpc/ppc64el with a signaltest failure. Albert Astals Cid tracked down http://lists.linaro.org/pipermail/linaro-toolchain/2014-January/003942.html which discusses a similar problem, and there's a hint in that thread that building with PIE support works around the problem. I've confirmed that this patch fixes the build on powerpc and ppc64el; for the sake of conservatism I've written it such that it only affects powerpc-based architectures.
