    app-editors/emacs: Fix build failure with 17.0 profiles.
    
    The following comment from upstream is in configure.ac of emacs-25.3:
    "-no-pie or -nopie fixes a temacs segfault on Gentoo, OpenBSD, Ubuntu,
    and other systems with "hardened" GCC configurations for some reason
    (Bug#18784).  We don't know why this works, but not segfaulting is
    better than segfaulting."
    
    Adding -no-pie to 23.4 and 24.5 appears to make them build, too.
    Note that only append-ldflags fixes the build failure, while
    append-flags does not (at least not for 23.4).
    
    Thanks to Mats Lidell for pointing me to the above upstream comment.
