PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN indicates whether accesses to internal linkage
variables and hidden visibility variables in a shared object (ld.so)
need dynamic relocations (usually R_*_RELATIVE). PI (position
independent) in the macro name is a misnomer: a code sequence using GOT
is typically position-independent as well, but using dynamic relocations
does not meet the requirement.
Not defining PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN is legacy and we expect that all new
ports will define PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN. Current ports defining
PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN are more than the opposite. Change the configure
default.
No functional change.

Prelinked binaries and libraries still work, the dynamic tags
DT_GNU_PRELINKED, DT_GNU_LIBLIST, DT_GNU_CONFLICT just ignored
(meaning the process is reallocated as default).
The loader environment variable TRACE_PRELINKING is also removed,
since it used solely on prelink.
Checked on x86_64-linux-gnu, i686-linux-gnu, and aarch64-linux-gnu.

PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN means that references to static functions, data
and symbols with hidden visibility do not need any run-time relocations
after the final link, with the build flags used by glibc.
OpenRISC follows this so enabled PI_STATIC_AND_HIDDEN by adding
configure.ac and generating configure.

Here we define the minumum linux kernel version at 5.4.0, as that is the
long term support version where 32-bit architectures start to support
64-bit time API's. The OpenRISC kernel had some bugs up until version 5.8
which caused issues with glibc fork/clone, they have been backported to
5.4 but not previous versions.

OpenRISC support hard float but I will like to submit that after glibc
soft float goes upstream. The hard float support depends on adding user
access to the FPCSR, which is not supported by the kernel yet.

OpenRISC includes 3 TLS addressing models. Local Dynamic optimizations
are not done in the linker and therefore use the same code sequences as
Global Dynamic.
