please don't play fool - thank you!

you have hunrdets of critical bugs in *every* multimedia library over
the past years and hardening binaries is for make *currently unknown*
vulernabilities more difficult to trigger

if one don't have the slightest clue about

recommend remove options like "--enable-pic" which should be *default*
until someone decides sacrifice security by performance
