Hi,

I have recently completed my first installation of Debian (stretch)
and I am compiling some apps from source. I have noticed that filers
show binaries produce by gcc as being shared library objects instead
of just ELF executables.

I eventually, by searching, I worked around this by specifying the 

-no-pie flag in CFLAGS but I would like to know if gcc is by default
set up to produce 
position independent binaries or if I have not set up things correctly.



My thanks in advance
