One important piece I forgot to add -- I'm running "Hardened Gentoo GCC" 
which enables PIE by default [1] [2]. As such, this might explain why other 
are (presumably) not seeing this problem.

BTW, I cannot find my original submission on patchwork. Was that e-mail OK? 
I see it in the ML archive [3].

With kind regards,
Jan
