Description
We already require a dynamic loader to load OpenSSL, so switching defaulting to PIE mode won't be that much of a breaking change. This needs further investigation, and possible an ADR.

Research direction

Determine whether defaulting to PIE is compatible and what an ADR should resolve; the work is done when the investigation and decision are documented.
