Package: hardening-includes
Release: stretch
In jessie, hardening-includes contains a script called
"hardening-check". This package does not exist in future versions. It
can still be installed successfully in stretch, but I get this problem
when I check a binary "Position Independent Executable: not a known ELF
type!? ()", I suppose that GCC changed how it compiled.

There were discussions to move the script. In stretch, `dpkg -L lintian
| grep 'hardening-check'` and `dpkg -L devscripts | grep
'hardening-check'` returns nothing on stdout. They were discussions
about putting the logic in lintian, but I use this script outside the
Debian packaging scope. Is there an updated version of this script
somewhere or is it unmaintained? Is there a similar free/libre tool in
Debian?
Regards.
