> Does it specified in some spec or GNU ld just work so? PIE is not part of any formal specification. It is a use already permitted by the generic ELF specification.
The essential meaning of a PIE is that it is an ET_DYN object that has an e_entry address that works normally. The presence of a DT_DEBUG is a necessary feature for the well-specified techniques for debugging dynamically-linked executables to work normally. Hence, a PIE has a DT_DEBUG. Since PIE is a GNU invention, what we say it means is what the specification is. We say it's an ET_DYN file with a DT_DEBUG entry.
