Hi!

The pidgin ebuilds reads

  # Stabilize things, for your own good
  strip-flags
  replace-flags -O? -O2

The call to strip-flags cuts "-fPIE -pie" away which is unfortunate.
Are you open to add something like

  use pie && CFLAGS="${CFLAGS} -fPIE -pie"

after?  Would you mind if I add that to -r1 myself?

Thanks!
