[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] rules.mak: Also try -r to build modules

[Paolo Bonzini]

Building qemu fails in distributions where gcc enables PIE by default
(e.g. Debian unstable) with:

/usr/bin/ld: -r and -pie may not be used together

You have to use -r instead of -Wl,-r to avoid gcc passing -pie to the linker
when PIE is enabled and a relocatable object is passed.  However, clang
does not know about -r, so try -Wl,-r first.
