Ard Biesheuvel c25d390552 BaseTools/tools_def IA32: disable PIE code generation explicitly
As a security measure, some distros now build their GCC toolchains with
PIE code generation enabled by default, because it is a prerequisite
for ASLR to be enabled when running the executable.

This typically results in slightly larger code, but it also generates
ELF relocations that our tooling cannot deal with, so let's disable it
explicitly when using GCC49 or later for IA32. (Note that this does not
apply to X64: it uses PIE code deliberately in some cases, and our
tooling does deal with the resuling relocations)

This directory contains the template files for the next generation of the
EDK II Build infrastructure.  These files will be copied into the WORKSPACE's
Conf directory if and only if the target files do not exist.

These files may be updated frequently.

The XMLSchema directory contains the EDK II Packaging XML definitions.  The
schema may change in the future.  It differs somewhat from the early versions
of the XML Schema.
