This is currently an opt-in build flag. Once ASLR support is ready and stable
it should changed to opt-out and be enabled by default along with ASLR.
Each application Makefile uses opt-out to ensure that ASLR will be enabled by
default in new directories when the system is compiled with PIE/ASLR. [2]
Mark known build failures as NO_PIE for now.
The only known runtime failure was rtld.

Beyond changes to the build system, this includes fixing up the sample
freebsd.mc configuration for changes in defaults and syntax, removing
outdated documentation, and updating the release notes.
snprintf function itself is still #ifdef'd out by conf.h. This allows this
program to link when compiled without optimization. With optimization,
the call to quad_to_string gets removed by the compiler. Unfortunately
the linker still links in the quad_to_string function even though it
isn't called. 8-(
