I reviewed the code and we only add -fPIE arguments when building
executables. The discussion on the other bug seems to support this:
-------------
Most of the problem is in systemd's top meson.build file:
# the oss-fuzz fuzzers are not built with -fPIE, so don't
# enable it when we are linking against them
if not fuzzer_build
possible_cc_flags += '-fPIE'
possible_link_flags += '-pie'
endif
------------
Thus it would seem that this is not a bug in Meson, but instead in
systemd's build setup as the pie arguments are added by the latter.
