[Olsr-dev] making olsrd a "Position Independent Executable" i.e. gcc -pie -fPIE

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

I'm in the process of making olsrd build properly with all of the Debian
hardening flags.  One of the things the hardening wants is to have the
executable built with -fPIE and linked with -pie.

Has anyone worked with this in olsrd before?  Any particular objections
to including such a thing in olsrd proper?  I think we need to do as
much as we can to make sure olsrd has minimal exploits, since it runs
fully as root.
