We may have more than one issues here:

1. Without -pie, no dynamic symbols.   I tried the small testcase with
binutils 2.25.2:

address@hidden without-pie]$
/export/build/gnu/binutils-misc/build-x86_64-linux/ld/ld-new -m elf_i386 -Ttext
0 -Bdynamic -Bsymbolic -E -o test1.elf test1.o
address@hidden without-pie]$
/export/build/gnu/binutils-misc/build-x86_64-linux/ld/ld-new -v
GNU ld (GNU Binutils) 2.25.2
address@hidden without-pie]$  nm -Dn test1.elf 
nm: test1.elf: no symbols

There is no dynamic symbol either.

address@hidden without-pie]$ 

2. With -pie, still doesn't work. Please tell me what is wrong in
the binary generated by 2.26.
