Bumping this as the PIE changes have been moved to core and as
the maintainers haven't rebuilt Phobos with PIE yet, one will see
messages like:
/usr/local/bin/ld: error:
/usr/lib/libphobos2.a(encoding_4bd_6d6.o): requires dynamic
R_X86_64_32 reloc which may overflow at runtime; recompile with
-fPIC
A quick fix is:
curl https://i.dlang.io | bash -s dmd-2.074.0
sudo cp ~/dlang/dmd-2.074.0/linux/lib64/libphobos2.a /usr/lib
The official releases [1] are built with PIE=1
