I don't think I can offer you much help with this, the way I see it -fpie and
-fPIE are only useful for non libraries, but I don't really know what gcc/ld

Yes, sorry for not replying sooner. We are not planning to upload a new 
version of gpgmepp (we are currently skipping 16.08 and upstream is apparently 
dropping gpgmepp for 16.12).
