Did you see that -fPIE is in fact explicitly passed by Buildroot in
openswan.mk ? So most likely, all what you need to do is to make sure
to pass -fPIE only if BR2_STATIC_LIBS is disabled.

I'll mark this patch as Changes Requested in patchwork. Please submit a
new version that doesn't pass -fPIE when not needed.

Thanks!
