Huh, I'm not sure. I haven't paid too close attention to the development of pkg
beyond just supporting the few changes we have downstream. We first wrote our
PIE integration patch for pkg in 2023, well before 2.7.5. And at that time, if
PIE was introduced via ports, then /usr/local/sbin/pkg-static would end up
being compiled as a PIE.

It sounds more like my knowledge of PIE in pkg is a bit stale, dating back to
our work in 2023. Things have changed since then. Sorry for the noise.
