Thanks for your bug report.

The problem is that the static library needs to be recompiled with gcc 
defaulting to PIE, in unstable this already happened with the 1.2-4 upload.

The following should be done for the next stretch point release:
  nmu libb64_1.2-3 . ANY . stretch . -m "Recompile with PIE (Closes: #859731)"
