--- Comment #5 from Shawn Webb <[email protected]> ---
I think the reason why FreeBSD is exhibiting issues but not HardenedBSD is
because we enforce -fPIC for all libraries, both in base and ports. We need to
do so to properly build applications as PIEs. Forcing PIC also helps protect
against a compiler-level security vulnerability[1].
