Hi Paul,

Indeed, we are now seeing in our CI system:

Hm, file appears to be recognising a .so as as "pie executable".

file-5.32:

  debian/test-out/tests/libbaz/libbaz-1-1/libbaz2.so.1.0.3b: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=dfe311f4305ebf88da3b18fe8408460f6513f440, with debug_info, not stripped

file-5.33:

  debian/test-out/tests/libbaz/libbaz-1-1/libbaz2.so.1.0.3b: ELF 64-bit LSB pie executable x86-64, version 1 (SYSV), dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=dfe311f4305ebf88da3b18fe8408460f6513f440, with debug_info, not stripped

Is that right?


Best wishes,
