- Link with PIC Static Ada Runtime When -pie Is Specified
- tldr
- The Ada compiler now correctly links with the position-independent code (PIC) static runtime when the `-pie` flag is used for building executables.

This commit modifies the Ada compiler to ensure it links with the correct static runtime library when building position-independent executables (PIE). When the -pie flag is specified, the compiler will now append _pic to the name of the static Ada runtime library, ensuring that the position-independent version is used. This fix is necessary for building secure and relocatable executables.
