enable PIE for dynamically linked Linux host executables

Compile all host programs for Android with -fPIE and -pie. This
enables PIE (Position Independent Executables), which helps
protect these applications from exploitation due to memory
management bugs.

Note: PIE *static* executables are not supported at this time. darwin
and windows are also not supported.
