The package currently in Ubuntu yakkety does not FTBFS in this way with
-fPIE, so this is a regression.  And since PIE is a security feature, I'm
not ok with pushing this in the week before release - the regression should
be sorted and the package brought in only once this is resolved.

Self-explanatory error message.  Where's the compiler commandline for this
pfmlib_common.lo, and why is it missing -fPIE?
