On all release architectures and (as far as I'm aware) most ports
architectures, everything is compiled as PIC by default, making this a
non-bug. I've lost track of whether it is dpkg, gcc, binutils or some
combination of all three that is responsible for setting this up;
the list of pie_archs in gcc-13's d/rules.defs might be relevant?
If you would like hppa to be in a position to keep up with the release
architectures, I would recommend making a similar change to the toolchain
for hppa, rather than dealing with PIC/non-PIC on a package-by-package
basis.
