[vtk-developers] Ubuntu 16.10, gcc 6.2 creates shared object by default instead of executable.

[Andrew Maclean]

See:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nautilus/+bug/1635376
and
 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gcc-defaults/+bug/1635706

Until thus is fixed, the solution , when configuring using CMake is to set
CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS=-no-pie
When this is done the usual ELF executable instead of the ELF shared object
is created.

Interestingly, the ELF shared object will run from a terminal but not
from the Nautilus window.
