FreeBSD 14.0 includes over two and a half years of development since the release of FreeBSD 13.0.
Some of this work was cherry-picked into older development branches, and was included in FreeBSD 13 minor releases.
For 64-bit architectures, the base system is built with Position Independent Executable (PIE) support enabled by default.
It may be disabled using the `WITHOUT_PIE` knob.
