indeed, this should be something set by the distributions, not in the
default Samba builds from our makefile. If a distro supports -pie then
presumably they have modified their version gdb to handle it (can you
confirm that Andrew? test gdb with a breakpoint in main on smbd on a
RH system).

Losing the ability to debug Samba is not something we want to do by
default.
