Source: i2util
Version: 1.6-1
Severity: normal
PIE by default in gcc was enabled in unstable a week ago.
There has recently been some confusion regarding the changes required
for using PIE by default.
Static libraries do not have to be compiled with -fPIC for this change,
-fPIE is sufficient and now the default when no flags are given.
Any upload (including binNMU) would have been enough to fix this.
Compiling static libraries with -fPIC is usually wrong (policy section 10.2).
Please revert the change to build static libraries with -fPIC.
