--- Comment #1 from Shawn Webb <shawn.webb@hardenedbsd.org> ---
The reason is due to the build of pkg-static. PIE cannot be applied there, and
there isn't currently a way to tell the ports framework not to apply PIE to
pkg-static. Instead, PIE needs to be enabled in the pkg project itself, but
only for the pkg binary, not for pkg-static. HardenedBSD carries a patch
downstream to do just that. While FreeBSD might take a different approach,
perhaps HardenedBSD's changes can serve as inspiration for whatever FreeBSD
cooks up.
