6 indeed, it's the pie option and the dlloader that will be used
7 by the X server to load modules (vs. the elfloader). this is
8 work in progress, we've got some results with the old xfree86
9 server back last year but now the whole game restarted with
10 the x.org server. there's http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=49038
11 that you may want to keep an eye on, if those issues are resolved,
12 automatic PIE/dlloader will be ready to be deployed, until then
13 it's either without PIE or you've got manual work to do as you
