Position-Independent Executable, which is a binary that works with 
Address Space Layout Randomization.

ASLR is a speedbump for attackers -- it puts the stack, heap, and text of 
your program in random locations on each execution, so an attacker has a 
lot more work to access globals or specific functions.

I don't know what issues D has with them, but I'd guess it has hard-coded 
locations for global variables or static data or something.
