[Pkg-net-snmp-devel] Bug#852023: net-snmp: hardening -pie causes FTBFS in rdeps

[Adrian Bunk]

Source: net-snmp
Version: 5.7.3+dfsg-1.6
Severity: serious
Tags: patch
Control: affects -1 src:nut

Rdeps of net-snmp (at least nut) FTBFS because since the disabling
of PIE in the hardening results in non-PIE static libraries.

PIE was disabled back in 2013 with a comment that it is required
to workaround a FTBFS, but the following change builds for me in
unstable:
