iiuc, the hardening options for qgpgme need to match the hardening
options for qtcore. if ubuntu is not setting at least the pie hardening
option for qtcore, then it's missing out on the possibility of address
space layout randomization (aslr) for many packages.

I recommend that ubuntu should track debian's improvements in pie
hardening for qt.
