So this worked, and a similar fix worked in motif [1].
I feel this is merely a workaround for the actual problem.

Should PIE be enabled by default for X32?
Should "DEB_BUILD_MAINT_OPTIONS=hardening=+all" not include PIE on
architectures where it is not enabled by default?

I have no idea where to start; X32 porters?  gcc maintainers?  dpkg maintainers?

Any suggestions would be welcome.

Regards
Graham
