Description:

MLton can no longer compile any SML program to a working binary, as ld on a current Arch appears to reject both the libmlton and libgdtoa libraries because they were compiled without -fPIC.

Additional info:
* Tested with mlton-20130715-5
* Tested with both default (amd64/native) and C codegens
* Tested with both gcc-7.1.1-4 and gcc-multilib-7.1.1-4
* Tested on two separate systems, but both up-to-date with regard to other Arch packages.

All failing for me currently.

Steps to reproduce:
* Create a trivial SML test program called test.sml (mine just says "val x = 1")
* Run "mlton test.sml"
* Expected result: an executable called test is produced
* Actual result: a series of errors from /usr/bin/ld are printed (see attachment) and no executable is produced
