Keep in mind that the news item literally says:

"2) Where supported, GCC will now build position-independent
   executables (PIE) by default."

Note the "Where supported" bit.  I don't know if that means "CPUs that this 
works with" or "profiles that support this", but it looks like the "pie" USE 
flag is forced globally in the profile and not deactivated in any of its sub-
profiles, so I'm tending to the former.

Of course, that doesn't mean that things are correct on your end, though.  On 
one of my computers, checksec does say "PIE enabled".  Maybe you should try 
compiling something else and verifying it.  After all, there's probably a 
reason why the "emerge -e @world" bit doesn't exclude any of the packages 
previously rebuilt.  I'll try to verify that on my desktop, though, which is 
the one out of three computers I haven't migrated yet -- both my home server 
and laptop have completed their "emerge -e @world" already (thankfully almost, 
but not entirely, without problems).
