use -fPIC instead of -fPIE that causes SEGV on gcc 5.
In my latest Ubuntu's gcc version 5.2.1 20151010 (Ubuntu 5.2.1-22ubuntu2), userhosts causes SEGV. You can reproduce the issue with current SlapOS gcc-5.3.0 as well.
$ gdb --args ./userhosts ls

Using '-fPIC' instead of '-fPIE' solved the issue. I confirm that it works with this change on gcc-4.9 as well.
