Use PIE on Android

tamird · tamird · commit 9f36ec0d4272 · 2015-04-29T13:50:26.000-07:00
This is OK to do given: - PIE is supported on Android starting with API 16. - The bots are running API 18. - API < 16 now has a 12.5% market share[0] as of 2015-04-29. Unfortunately, this breaks backtrace support. See #17520. Closes #17437. [0] https://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html
