FreeIPA is experiencing build-failure in Koji Rawhide.

This is due to -pie being present in the LDFLAGS on rawhide. This in
turn requires that all code be compiled with -fPIC, which is not
normally required for simple executables. Nor is -fPIC being added to
the list of CFLAGS by Koji.
Where does this bug lie, and who needs to fix it? I could add -fPIC to
FreeIPA, but this doesn't seem correct.
This sounds like a problem in the build root. PIE should be passed
explicitly on a case by case basis. A lot of times you have to
specially fix the Make files to pass the correct flags. -fpic for some
and -pie for others. I don't know why or how its doing this but it
sounds wrong.
