Description

Consider the following source file `asm_pic.d`:

    align(16) static immutable short[8] A = [ 1, 1, 1, 1, 3, 3, 3, 3 ];

    void main()
    {
        asm
        {                 
            pmullw XMM0, A;
        }
    }

LDC 1.0.0-b1 thinks it's compatible with PIC code.

```bash
$ ldc2 asm_pic.d # ok
$ ldc2 -relocation-model=pic asm_pic.d # ok
```

DMD disallows to load the constant in PIC code.


$ dmd asm_pic.d  # ok
$ dmd -fPIC asm_pic.d  # fail
asm_pic.d(7): Error: cannot directly load global variable 'A' with PIC code

Well I don't have that issue anymore.
