I know this idea wasn't liked last time around, so I should probably
give at least the reason:
The linker complains (as in warns, but still continues) when linking
with -pie due to these.
I agree it is only a nice-to-have and not of any real importance, on the
other hand the additional code does not seem that bad to me either
(and I suspect it could be improved by someone less clueless, and I
guess making the define uppercase is a good idea and such).
