Yes, I am using it to debug other code.

I have other code that is compiled with -fPIC and mixing them is not 
allowed afaik.  Also, I want to have a shared debugging ffmpeg as much 
as possible. I am currently running into what I believe are false 
positives of tsan, but cannot tell for sure if there is no info in the 
libav* libraries, so anything to get the line numbers and function names 
is good.

Glad to know.

Yes, it is exactly that bug!  Removing -fPIE from the configure script 
solves it for me.  I have progressed further.
Thank you, Carl.
