Unsure why it isn't acceptable. There is fairly strong evidence that that 
specific ppc64le buildbot has a stability issue and 
`-DCLANG_DEFAULT_PIE_ON_LINUX=OFF` keeps it as if before this CMake patch.
We can always discuss this with @nemanjai in another place, e.g. in IRC if we 
want to stop bothering others subscribing to this thread.

(The trunk is clean and churn-less (there is no revert so downstream users will 
not get changed behaviors back and forth)).
