I would more like the USE_PIE=3Dyes approach (Warner would have a better vi=
ew on
the proper approach :)) and make bsd.prog.mk aware of it.

I have not seen any operating system where PIE is enabled by default on eve=
ry
single binaries, and yes PIE has a performance inpact.

It also have an infrastructue cost meaning we have to create PIC enabled ar=
chive
for at least every single INTERNALLIB and cherrypick the right .a depending=
 on
the target we are building (static binaries or dynamic one).
