Bug#823877: dpkg-buildflags: please allow PIE on kfreebsd
Package: dpkg-dev
Version: 1.18.6
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
User: debian-bsd@lists.debian.org
Usertags: kfreebsd
Hi Guillem,
Please allow dpkg-buildflags to use PIE on kfreebsd. Due to an ancient
bug (#430455) it remains disabled. But kfreebsd-10, -9 and probably -8
support PIE binaries.
kfreebsd (upstream kernel) doesn't implement ASLR yet, but when it does,
I'd like as many binaries as possible to be already compiled as PIE.
Thanks a lot!
