Bug description:
  Hi there

  I just saw that chromium-browser wasn't built with -fPIE on armel due to this bug:
  http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=55439

  http://launchpadlibrarian.net/55522699/buildlog_ubuntu-maverick-armel
  .chromium-browser_6.0.472.55~r58392-0ubuntu1_FAILEDTOBUILD.txt.gz

    LINK(target) out/Release/chrome
  /usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: out/Release/obj.target/skia/libskia.a(SkBlurDrawLooper.o)(.text._ZN16SkBlurDrawLooper10CreateProcER23SkFlattenableReadBuffer[SkBlurDrawLooper::CreateProc(SkFlattenableReadBuffer&)]+0x6): unresolvable R_ARM_THM_CALL relocation against symbol `operator new(unsigned int)@@GLIBCXX_3.4'
  /usr/bin/ld.bfd.real: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
  collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

  I think we should look into it, -fPIE is needed for some security
  features and web browsers are a critical piece of software that we
  want to protect.

  Cheers,
