Comment (by blueness):

 I maintain both Gentoo's hardened-sources and tor.  1) We have not seen
 this issue in gentoo.  2) Gentoo's hardened toolchain builds everything
 PIE without introducing textrels using ld.bfd.  But now we are off topic.
 If Arch needs a binutils patch that's PaX friendly, ping me in freenode
 /#gentoo-hardened.
