[OE-core] [sumo][PATCH] security_flags: disable static PIE in glibc

From: Ross Burton <ross.burton at intel.com>

Static PIE doesn't work entirely right in GCC 7, for example ldconfig on ARM
with the flags enabled will something segfault during initialisation.

To mitigate this until we have GCC 8 integrated, don't enable static PIE.
