Re: Bug#879014: gpgme1.0: FTBFS on some arches: Qt needs a compile with -fPIC (PIE is not enough), hardening downgrades to PIE

PIC implies PIE ;)

The problem is that applications linked against Qt also need PIC,
not PIE. The pkg-config stuff gets this right, but the continued
insisting that -specs= stuff should be used to enable PIE on some
architectures due to disagreements between dpkg and gcc maintainers
causes PIE, if enabled in hardening, to be added too late on the
compiler command line (and not ignored if PIC was already given).
