    Hi!

    I guess I could do it the other way, and given this is apparently

    the referenced bug report which might require patching a specific
    package to disable PIE there, I'm inclined to completely mask PIE
    in dpkg-buildflags for alpha and ia64 in around a couple of weeks,
    if I don't hear anything.

    I've now queued locally a commit masking this for alpha and ia64 and
    will be including it in dpkg 1.22.2, probably by the end of the weekend.
    To the porters, please let me know if you'd prefer these not to be
    masked.

    If PIE (via specs files) appears to work on x32, and changing the
    defaults in gcc is too much to bother, I think leaving it as is looks
    fine by me. But if this is causing problems as well and the x32 porters
    (if there's any remaining :), want to mask it alongside the other ports,
    let me know and I can also flip the switch for that one.

    If the porters would also like to see x32 masked, let me know and I
    can also include it, otherwise I'll leave it as it is now.

    Thanks,
    Guillem
