Yes, we (I and one another person on this forum) have the same problem.

As a temporary solution, while compiling your program, add

-defaultlib=libphobos2.so -fPIC

This solved my problem on Ubuntu 16.10. But with one problem. Now, while
you are copying your executable to another computer, you need to copy
libphobos2.so (in my case libphobos2.so.17) to that computer's /usr/lib
as well.

Or you can build your own version of dmd with PIC enabled and add -fPIC to /etc/dmd.conf

I rebuilded phobos and druntime with -fPIC and replaced the static libphobos2.a. Now it works well. But I have to specified -fPIC to dmd each time to build. Should dmd make -fPIC the default?

read my message again:

add -fPIC to /etc/dmd.conf

this should help

or maybe there is another one dmd.conf somewhere in dmd source (in place where your new dmd binary is)

Just for future reference, PIE support was fixed with 2.072.2.
