ELF Hello World Tutorial / DT_FLAGS_1

Seems to be a GNU Binutils extension

Determines if an executable is a position independent executable (PIE).

Seems to be informational only, since not used by Linux kernel 5.0 or glibc 2.29.

file 5.36 however does use it to display file type as explained at: stackoverflow.com/questions/34519521/why-does-gcc-create-a-shared-object-instead-of-an-executable-binary-according-to/55704865#55704865
