Proposed patch

If you specify -pie option a different entry point is used for PE/PE+
executables, specifically the entry point for a DLL.

This for instance affects attempt to use --dynamicbase which needs an
relocatable executable. As different thread on internet suggests to use -pie
option to enable relocations on an executable the current behaviour seems
wrong.

I tested with a project we have and with this patch and --dynamicbase --pie
--subsystem console the correct entry point is called.
