That bug report is not relevant in its current form, as explained there. If the default changes in the Debian default compiler, then I'll just make the +pie option a no-op and change -pie to set -fno-PIE, so that the options are only added when they are expected. The difference with that request is that it would currently add -fno-PIE for most packages that do not change the default flags, which might break their build-systems. Thanks, Guillem
