Wireshark-bugs: [Wireshark-bugs] [Bug 11643] build error on Debian testing: Couldn't compile Qt

There are two questions to ask:

1) does removal of that check fix the Debian build?

2) does removal of that check break any *other* builds?

If the answer to question 2) is not known to be "no", I'd vote for starting by
building only dumpcap with PIE, and then figure out what needs to be done -
with CMake *and* autotools - to build everything else appropriately
position-independent on all platforms where that's possible (i.e., with *all*
versions of Qt and CMake, and all compilers and linkers, with which Wireshark
can be built), without causing problems with builds on platforms where it's
not.
