Comment (by boklm):

 I attached a first version of a patch to fix that. After building with
 this patch, the firefox binary is reported as PIE by `otool -hv`.

 Before adding wrappers for `clang` and `clang++` adding the `-fPIE`
 option, I first tried to add it to the `CFLAGS` variable in `.mozconfig-
 mac`, but this makes the build fail with this error:

 Maybe the wrappers should be created in `gitian-utils.yml` instead of
 `gitian-firefox.yml`? Unless there is a better way to make `-fPIC` the
 default.

 The `mac-pie.patch` patch should also be a separate patch for `tor-
 browser.git`.
