Comment 2 for bug 1452115

We didn't enable PIE for the python interpreters for performance reasons.

We're currently investigating turning PIE on by default for x86-64 and
other architectures that will likely handle it well. The performance
impact will be one of the deciding factors in determining if we enable
PIE for the python interpreter.

We're not likely to backport the PIE support to existing releases
because newer versions of GCC help reduce the performance penalty of
PIE compilation.

Thanks
