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.

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.
