How do we know this makes a meaningful difference?
Postfix programs appear to behave as usual with Fedora Core 20 and
FreeBSD 9.x. The "file" command reports the executables as "ELF
64-bit LSB shared object" instead of "ELF 64-bit LSB executable",
so that looks right.
If it is really that simple, then we might put PIE support into
Postfix 3.0.
