I think that matches the current policy (10.2 Libraries: "therefore the static version must not be compiled with the -fPIC flag"). I'm hesitant to violate that policy, even if I generally welcome the move to PIE. Also note that simgear well respects DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS via dpkg-buildflags. A simgear compiled with DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS including hardening=+pie will generate a PIE-enabled library. That in turn allows compiling fgrun with the same options, leading to a PIE-enabled executable. > The rebuild tested if packages are ready for a transition > enabling PIE and bindnow for amd64. Are you sure this tested against a re-built simgear? Kind Regards Markus Wanner
