Re: pie stuff

It's position independent executables. Your main exec is just like a
shared library. Every time you run it you get a different start
address. Not fun, I can tell you. gcc -fpie -pie -g -o blah blah.c


Whoever came up with that monstrous idea, I wonder... ;-)

(I'm not going there)


Anyway, I think this is something for PROBLEMS - broken in 6.1, fixes available for mainline.
