[ Revised; now also changes CFLAGS-pt-initfini.s as suggested by 
  http://sources.redhat.com/ml/crossgcc/2004-07/msg00169.html
  to not crash when building a debug glibc on mips ]

Fixes errors like

	* configure.in: Add test for -fno-unit-at-a-time.
	Fix text for -fpie.
	
	* csu/Makefile (CFLAGS-initfini.s): Add $(fno_unit_at_a_time).
	* locale/Makefile (CFLAGS-loadlocale.c): Likewise.
	
	For linuxthreads:
	* Makefile (CFLAGS-pt-initfini.s): Add $(fno_unit_at_a_time).
	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/Makefile (CFLAGS-pt-initfini.s):
	Likewise.
	
	For nptl:

linuxthreads change retrieved with
wget -O foo.patch 'http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/linuxthreads/Makefile.diff?r1=1.83&r2=1.84&cvsroot=glibc' \
'http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/libc/linuxthreads/sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/x86_64/Makefile.diff?r1=1.5&r2=1.6&cvsroot=glibc'

and then rediffed against glibc-2.3.2
And then extended to mips...
