All,

this patch adds the ability to build PIE executables for FreeBSD. The
core is since a longer time in the code base of FreeBSD itself and is
working fine.

This patch makes it available for all FreeBSD targets.
Tested on x86_64-*-freebsd11.0 and armv6/hf-*-freebsd11.0,
i386-*-freebsd11.0 is progress.

In the same turn I removed the STARTFILE/ENDFILE_SPEC from
config/i386/freebsd.h and use the ones from config/freebsd-spec.h.

Here the results before the patch:

and with the patch:

https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2015-05/msg01324.html

Is this ok for trunk and for 5.1X?

Thanks,
Andreas

    * config/freebsd-spec.h (FBSD_STARTFILE_SPEC): Add the bits to build
    pie executables.
    (FBSD_ENDFILE_SPEC): Likewise.
    * config/i386/freebsd.h (STARTFILE_SPEC): Remove and use the one from
    config/freebsd-spec.h.
    (ENDFILE_SPEC): Likewise.

    * lib/target-supports.exp (check_effective_target_pie): Add
*-*-freebsd*
    to the familiy of pie capable targets.
OK for the trunk, please install.  Release managers have final say for 
the release branches.
