Historical
This page is for historical purposes only. As of 16.10, PIE is enabled by default for amd64, ppc64el and s390x. As of 17.10, PIE is enabled by default for all architectures in the Ubuntu archive.
These packages are built with "hardening-wrapper", or similar native build options. The primary purpose is to gain PIE (and as of Ubuntu 9.10, -Wl,-z,now).
