Description of problem:
Security problems are not unheard of in bind, it can be accessed from the
network, and is a long-running daemon.  A perfect example for a process which
should be a PIE.  I'll attach a patch  which applied on top of the 9.2.2.P3-9
sources.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
bind-9.2.2.P3-9

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.readelf -h /usr/sbin/named|grep Type:
2.
3.
    

Actual Results:    Type:                              EXEC (Executable file)


Expected Results:    Type:                              DYN (Shared object file)
