This is very bad and we should consider a hotfix. Is someone
on it ?
This is the PIE by default problem, yes? In which case the
hot fix should just always enable -fPIC for debian/ubuntu.

That's the hotfix, but in general it's overkill. -fpie is a
subset of -fpic, see
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Code-Gen-Options.html
The shipped binaries are not compiled with that flag, so,
unless I use my homebrew of everything, nothing works.
Yes, as I said, -fpic* is the hotfix until we support -fpie. We
should definitely provide alternative downloads compiled with
-fpic, at least the deb packages if not also the zip.
* side note: fpic and fPIC aren't exactly the same on all
platforms, but for x86(_64) iirc they are identical.
