AFAIK for all ports architectures except Hurd and hppa the other Adrian
is a porter, so should be able to ACK it.

As I already wrote in [1] there is architecture other than alpha/ia64/x32
where the pie specs did actually enable PIE.

On m68k and sh4 the specs might still be passed and cause FTBFS in 
packages like gluegen2 that pass LDFLAGS to ld, but there is no
PIE enabling effect.
