I mean, what is PIE and what kind of problems with D are there?
Position-Independent Executable, which is a binary that works with Address Space Layout Randomization. ASLR is a speedbump for attackers -- it puts the stack, heap, and text of your program in random locations on each execution, so an attacker has a lot more work to access globals or specific functions. I don't know what issues D has with them, but I'd guess it has hard-coded locations for global variables or static data or something.
