>+Notes for distributors:
>+
>+  This version of D-Bus no longer uses -fPIE by default. Distributions wishing
>+  to harden the dbus-daemon and dbus-launch-helper can re-enable this if their
>+  toolchain supports it reliably, via something like:
>+
>+    ./configure CFLAGS=-fPIE LDFLAGS="-pie -Wl,-z,relro"
>+
>+  or by using distribution-specific wrappers such as Debian's hardening-wrapper.
>+
>+Changes:
>+
>+  â¢ Don't force -fPIE: distributions and libtool know better than we do whether
>+    it's desirable (fd.o #16621, fd.o #27215; Simon McVittie)
