No, I am afraid I don't.  It is an i386-only test, so I haven't run it
for a while.  There are two places things could have broken here.

One is that the binary produced is now built with pic (which it
shouldn't).  The other issue could be that Lintian's detection is broken.

Lintian 2.5.11 hasn't changed anything in the test itself or the
template files used to construct the test.  So if the binary is now
built with pic, it could be a change in gcc (or flags exported by
dpkg-buildflags, but I am not aware of any changes there).

On the other hand, Lintian has seen changes in the script that parses
the readelf output and loads its into memory.  If this is the reason, we
are probably looking at a regression introduced in 1ca9aa1 or 701e44e.

If you can extract the i386 binary package produced by that test, I can
have a look at fixing it.
