Rerunning these tests in a properly isolate chroot show me that
the hardening is also contributing to the improper results.
Hardening must be disabled and PIE must be enforced to ensure
the program runs appropriately 

	                         -O1  -O2   -O3
	-fPIE + no hardening      OK   OK    OK
	-fno-PIE + no hardening   OK  FAIL  FAIL
	-fPIE + hardening         OK  FAIL  FAIL
	-fno-PIE + hardening      OK  FAIL  FAIL

I'm considering pushing an upload that goes in the direction of
disabling hardening and enforcing PIE in the upcoming week,
unless there are reasons to hold on, or someone is faster than
me in uploading.

Have a nice day,  :)
